Electrical Engineering (Non-Thesis)

An online professional master’s degree in electrical engineering provides advanced, applied technical training without requiring a thesis or full‑time campus residency. The program is designed to help you deepen expertise in electrical systems while continuing to work professionally.

Through this degree, you:

• Strengthen advanced technical skills in systems, power, microwave, and information sciences
• Gain practical experience through project‑based coursework rooted in real engineering challenges
• Build leadership‑ready capabilities for roles requiring systems‑level thinking and technical judgment
• Earn a graduate credential from Colorado School of Mines that reflects applied engineering rigor

This degree is especially valuable if you want to advance technically, expand responsibilities, or move into leadership without stepping away from your career.

This program uses a stackable credential model built around online graduate certificates. Each certificate can be completed independently and also counts directly toward the professional master’s degree.

In this program:

• You complete three approved online graduate certificates
• Each certificate develops focused expertise in a specific technical area
• Certificates stack seamlessly into the master’s degree without duplication

This structure allows you to progress at your own pace, apply learning immediately on the job, and decide how far you want to go academically as your career evolves.

This degree prepares you for advanced technical and leadership‑oriented roles that require strong systems knowledge and applied engineering judgment.

Graduates commonly pursue roles such as:

• Electrical or systems engineer
• Power or energy systems engineer
• Communications or microwave engineer
• Technical lead, senior engineer, or engineering manager

The program is particularly well suited for professionals who want to move beyond task execution into roles involving design authority, system integration, or technical decision‑making.

Electrical engineers with advanced, applied training are in demand across industries where performance, reliability, and system integration are critical.

Industries that commonly hire graduates include:

• Energy and utilities
• Electronics and semiconductor technology
• Aerospace and defense systems
• Manufacturing and industrial automation
• Engineering consulting and technical services

The skills developed in this program translate across sectors that rely on complex electrical systems and large‑scale engineering solutions.

Yes. This is a professional, non‑thesis master’s degree designed specifically for engineers who want applied expertise rather than research training.

Instead of a thesis:

• You complete coursework‑driven certificates

• Learning is reinforced through applied projects and case studies

• Skills focus on design, analysis, and real‑world application

If your goal is career advancement, technical specialization, or leadership preparation rather than academic research, this program is a strong fit.
