Degrees Offered
Cornell programs in engineering and applied science lead to the degrees of bachelor of science (B.S.), master of engineering (M.Eng.), master of science (M.S.), and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.).
General academic information concerning the B.S. degree is given under “Undergraduate Study .” A student can pursue a degree in one of 14 majors listed below.
In addition, undergraduate students in engineering and across the university can pursue one or more Engineering minors. See all available Engineering minors below.
Professional Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees are offered in 14 different disciplines, 4 of which are also available in a distance learning (DL) mode. Within the general requirements framework for the M.Eng. degree, each program has a discipline-specific curriculum that is designed to meet the career interests of its students. See below for more information.
Programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are administered by the Graduate School . They are described in the Graduate School fields of study webpage.
Majors (B.S.)
Undergraduate students in engineering spend most of their first two years in the Common Curriculum, which is administered by the College Curriculum Governing Board (CCGB). By the end of their fourth semester, students will affiliate with one of the majors given below. The majors BE, ChemE, CE, ECE, EnvEng, MSE, and ME are accredited by ABET. All coursework for the degrees below is in person, in Ithaca, unless otherwise noted.
Undergraduate Minors
Undergraduate students may pursue minors in a wide variety of areas offered by multiple colleges in the University. Completed minors will appear on the student’s transcript. Not all departments offer minors and some may include specific limitations based on a student’s major. Consult the list below or contact the appropriate department for information on a specific minor and how to pursue the minor.
Minors offered by the College of Engineering are listed below and all require a minimum of six courses and 18 credits. For more information on these minors, see Engineering Minors .

Master of Engineering Programs (M.Eng.)
The College of Engineering offers professional Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees in the following disciplines:
“(+DL)” represents Distance Learning mode available
Double Major in Engineering
The double-major option, which makes it possible to develop expertise in two allied engineering majors, generally requires at least one semester beyond the usual four years. Students affiliate with one major following normal procedures and then petition to enter a second major before the end of their junior year. All requirements of both majors must be satisfied. Further information is available from Engineering Advising, 180 Rhodes Hall, and the individual major offices.
