Online Learning

Tech Online

Michigan Tech Online Learning courses are developed for the virtual classroom using the latest distance education technologies. Internet classes allow you to arrange your class attendance around your own schedule. Except for turning in assignments when they are due, your schedule is totally up to you. For more information, and the online course schedule visit our Getting Started with Online Learning website.


MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering

Distance learning research-based degrees at both the master's and doctoral level are designed to ensure fidelity to these relationships and thus maintain the high standards of Michigan Tech graduate degrees. The public defense of theses, dissertations, reports and projects should preferably occur on campus. Students in partnered programs may take up to one-third of the required coursework credits from other universities provided the course plan is approved in advance of course registration. These degrees are only open to those living and/or working in the US.

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

An MSEE requires 30 credits of graduate course work. The rules and regulations covering the degree can be found on the Grad School's web page and the ECE Dept's web site. Of the 30 credits required, 20 must be from Michigan Tech. Over a four year period we offer a minimum of 21 course credits in Electric Power. The faculty will work with you to identify other courses, either at Michigan Tech or other universities, to fill out of your degree program.
