* In addition to the above degrees, the School of Engineering also offers:

1) An Engineering/Management dual masters degree (MS/MBA) offered with the Leaders for Manufacturing Program (see http://engineering.mit.edu/education/graduate/lmp.php for details)

2) The following "Engineer" degrees (an engineer's degree requires more advanced and broader competence in engineering and science subjects than for the master's degree, but with less emphasis on original research than a doctoral program. In general, the engineer's degree requires two academic years beyond an undergraduate degree):

Engineer in Aeronautics and Astronautics

Civil Engineer

Engineer in Computer Science

Electrical Engineer

Environmental Engineer

Materials Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

Metallurgical Engineer

Naval Engineer

Nuclear Engineer

Ocean Engineer

3) A multitude of specialized doctorate-level degrees within Aeronautics and Astronautics, Biological Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. Interested students are referred to a summary listing of all offered degrees given at http://web.mit.edu/catalogue/degre.engin.dlist.shtml

** Tracks offered in Bioengineering and Applied Biosciences.
