Majors, Minors and Certificates

The MSAE program gives students greater knowledge of aerospace engineering while conducting research to advance the field.

The PhD program is designed to give students competence at the highest level in aerospace engineering. A PhD is a research-based degree, and students are required to research, complete and successfully defend a dissertation in a subject of his/her choosing.

The focus of the graduate program in biomedical engineering is to prepare students to be skilled in learning and discovering of processes that work to integrate engineering and life sciences for the advancement of human health and medical technologies.

It should be emphasized that the PhD is primarily a research degree, and therefore the research work for a doctoral dissertation should show a high order of originality on the part of the student and must offer an original contribution to the field of engineering science.

The master's in Chemical Engineering program is built on advanced chemical engineering fundamentals. Students will conduct applicable research in areas such as biomedical, bioengineering, catalysis, coal conversion, energy, fuels, materials, polymer processing, systems control and dynamic simulation.

At WVU, we provide a wide range of research and educational opportunities for graduate study. Our smaller student population allows us to offer highly personalized education and allows advisers to spend more time with students. A significant portion of our research is funded by industry.

Opportunities abound within the master's tracks for a research experience that provides a chance for a student to tackle an engineering problem individually.

With more than 170 faculty members in 16 different engineering/computer science disciplines from which to choose, our 700 graduate-level students are gaining cross-disciplinary research experience working with peers from a wide range of disciplines across the University, around the world and in both the public and private sectors.

The Master of Science in Engineering Management, offered by the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, prepares students to manage large engineering operations and brings together topics from across several fields to help them develop the leadership skills necessary to address contemporary professional challenges and solve complex operational problems.

Students in the MSIE program will learn to master modern and classical methodologies in their area of concentration, oral and written communication skills to bridge the gap between society and businesses and professional ethics as applied to their field. In this program, students will conduct research in their field of choice, work on projects in teams and individually and design and implement new integrated systems.

Each PhD student will develop a program with a major in industrial engineering, or occupational safety and health, designed to meet his/her needs and objectives in consultation with an adviser and the advisory and examining committee.

Materials Science and Engineering is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in engineering or a closely related STEM discipline.
