This 36 credit-hour, cohort-based program is a professional Master of Science in Robotics over four semesters designed to produce industry-ready engineers and scientists with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to meet the challenges of rapidly growing interdisciplinary technologies in professional careers related to designing and developing robotics and automation solutions.  Such a program is in high demand by not only students but also a growing list of local and global companies interested in robotics and factory automation.

The MS Robotics program provides its graduates with a practitioner-oriented degree that clearly distinguishes them as trained professionals in the field. Its curriculum is specifically tailored to the educational needs for robotics professionals by requiring courses in multiple core areas of Robotics (e.g., AI and Mechanics). In addition to coursework, the students will spend a summer performing internship at one of our industrial robotics partners and complete a capstone project providing them with practical experience directly applicable to their careers.

Students can apply to the MS-Robotics program through any of the six participating schools, the choice of which usually reflects that student's intended area of specialization and general background. Students with diverse and eclectic backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including those with previous work or research experience. Each school has its own set of admission criteria, but the program generally requires a minimum GPA of 3.3. 

Special Note: All students who are admitted into the M.S. in Robotics program, are automatically enrolled into the non-thesis track, (which is the capstone project track). Students may be eligible for the M.S. in Robotics Thesis track after matriculation.

Tuition and fees for the MS-Robotics degree program can be found on the Bursar's webpage.

The program’s tuition is higher than a regular graduate tuition but comparable to other professional MS degree programs.
