Tailor Your Degree

Selecting the master’s degree program right for you isn’t exactly a one-time deal; it’s an ongoing journey. Each option features customizable elements such as concentrations, study tracks and graduate certificates. No two people’s careers are exactly alike. Why should their education be?

Learn by Doing

The case-study approach still has its place. But we augment lessons on what others have done through a hands-on approach that provides authentic experiences.

Industry-Sponsored Projects

In our culminating capstone projects, master’s students work in teams on challenges currently facing our industry partners. Students engage directly with representatives of the partner organization and present final deliverables.

Internships

Many of our master’s programs require internships. Over 8-12 weeks, students apply what they’ve learned while gaining workplace experience. Our team of career development experts helps students identify relevant internship opportunities.

Consulting Practicums

Students in our Master of Engineering Management program can work with our executive-in-residence analyzing markets, planning strategies or developing tech solutions for our corporate partners.

Graduate Student Programs and Services

The Graduate Student Programs and Services (GSPS) team collaborates with Duke Engineering students to provide diverse support services. These offerings are integral to Duke Engineering’s holistic framework, ensuring students have a top-tier experience.
