A student can obtain a Master’s degree in as little as 9 months with this program.  It may be completed entirely via distance learning courses through the APEX department in the College of Engineering at USF.  Courses are web-based and available online via the internet. 

The degree is based on course-work only, with no thesis requirement.  This program is intended for students who wish to go full-time and for practicing engineers who want to take it part-time over one to two years. 

Students can specialize in their field of choice since the program allows considerable freedom in choosing electives (Environmental Engineering, Engineering Management, Quality Control and more)
