Recognizing that students with undergraduate degrees outside engineering may be interested in the pursuit of a Professional MS in Chemical Engineering, the department partners with Michigan State University's bridging program. The program prepares undergraduates from science, technology, and mathematics backgrounds to successfully pursue a Professional MS in ChemE via 2 online bridging courses.

The NE program coursework focuses on nuclear operations and safety, nuclear science, and nuclear systems and policy. Pittsburgh's unique industrial resources are the backbone of this program. Our nuclear engineering faculty are nuclear scientists and engineers with decades of experience in the commercial nuclear power industry and naval nuclear programs.

The Neural Engineering program applies engineering techniques to understand, repair, replace, enhance, or otherwise exploit the properties of neural systems. Students will gain a deep understanding of the biology of the nervous system, and how, from an engineering perspective, to treat disorders, build clinical devices, and build computational models.

The Professional MS in Bioengineering with a Medical Product Engineering Focus program applies engineering innovation to the identification of and solution to challenges in health care delivery in the medical industry. Students have the opportunity to work with the renowned University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in a city that has been named a U.S. tech hub to watch.

The program prepares students to manage the rebuilding of public infrastructure and the modernization of private buildings and plants. Graduates of the program will become leaders in the construction industry and generally practice in public agencies, construction companies, consulting firms, and many other national and international positions.

This program provides opportunities for graduate skills development in the science and engineering of water and wastewater treatment, water quality, solid and hazardous waste management, air quality control and environmental impact assessment. Graduates of the program are in great demand by consulting firms and government agencies and by research organizations and educational institutions.

This program aims to creatively address the multifaceted issues and challenges in sustainability today as applied to the civil industry. Graduates emerge from this MS program with a novel perspective and cutting edge skills directed towards environmental stewardship and sustainability.

Since its founding in 1893 by two legends, George Westinghouse and Reginald Fessenden, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Pitt has excelled in education, research, and service. 

The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering is highly flexible and requires a minimum of 30 credits of graduate study. The discipline focuses on improving the design and operation of any system, such as a production or manufacturing system, a distribution and logistics system, a retail system, a financial system, and more! An applicant needs to have strong mathematical, analytical and computational skills, and the ability to work in a team setting to succeed in our IE MS program.  

The program is oriented toward the transition of results from scientific and engineering disciplines to the solution of materials problems that impede technological progress. Graduates are provided with the tools to become successful in research, development, production, management, and teaching.

The program offers education and research at the cutting edge of thermal-fluid science, engineering simulation and computation, solid mechanics, biomechanics, manufacturing, dynamic systems and control. The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Pitt fosters academic innovation, with more than 20 research labs and opportunities to work with a myriad of industries from biomedical to aerospace.

The MSSE program is an ideal option for students from non-engineering disciplines. The goal of the program is to provide students the ability to identify and solve sustainability issues using systems approaches in the context of the triple bottom line of environmental, societal, and economic problems. Graduates of the program have a distinct advantage in pursuing sustainable solutions in a variety of professional settings ranging from industry and non-profit to government and military.
