MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING SCIENCES

Build the coursework around your research.

Plan the six-course distribution, then track the research, thesis, and defense requirements separately.

COURSE DISTRIBUTION

A minimum of six courses beyond the AB degree

Requirements shown are effective Fall 2025. Up to three eligible prior graduate credits may transfer.
1applied math
3research depth
2engineering breadth
+thesis & defense
Advisor approval shapes this degree

Choose depth courses with your thesis advisor from graduate engineering listings; Engineering Management courses cannot count toward depth. Breadth courses may come from any graduate listing area with advisor and graduate program committee approval.

IMPORTANT EXCEPTIONS

Credit rules captured.

Eligible prior graduate work may transfer up to three credits if it was not used for a bachelor's degree. Dartmouth BE students may count up to six applicable courses toward both degrees. Your advisor-developed program plan still requires formal approval.
