MS Program Plan

Helpful information to begin your plan:

• MS course requirements
• Course catalog (you can also search by term)
• Graduate Course Equivalence and Credit form; use this to transfer graduate-level credits. You can transfer up to half of your required courses. Dartmouth BE students can double-count up to six applicable courses.
• Three-credit check: Most MS students register for three credits per term. To get to three credits, choose the research course option from the list below that matches the number of credits you need:
  • Two lecture credits and ENGG 296: (1 credit) Graduate Research
  • One lecture credit and ENGG 297: (2 credits) Graduate Research
  • No lecture courses, register for ENGG 298: (3 credits) Graduate Research
• Residency check: You must be in residence for at least three terms after your bachelor's degree.
• ENGG 700 Responsible & Ethical Conduct of Research is required in your first fall, so it is automatically included in your program plan, but you still need to register for the course.
• Questions or additional guidance: email Graduate Academic Advising Director Liz Lerret or set up an appointment.
