M.S. Vs. M.Eng.
The UConn Engineering Graduate Programs offers the Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) programs. These degrees are in-person, full-time programs on the main UConn Storrs campus. Students participate in innovative research in their intended fields of study. Looking for more flexible options? The Center for Advanced Engineering Education offers the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and certificate programs. These are designed for the working professional. These programs are flexible, online and part-time programs and are not research-based, but do include capstone projects if desired.

The John Lof Leadership Academy
The UConn College of Engineering is proud to announce the establishment of the John Lof Leadership Academy for Graduate Engineering Students. Backed by the generous endowment from John Lof, a former UConn Electrical and Computer Science professor of 35 years, this exclusive Academy will aim to continue the legacy of Dr. Lof, who wished to reward and cultivate a select group of future leaders and engineering trailblazers. The proceeds of the endowment will be used toward the direct support of the student members (in the form of grants and fellowships) as well as the corresponding Academy programs. Applicants are accepted annually for two-year tenures in the academy.
