Chemical Engineering (Ph.D., M.S., M.Eng.)
Clarkson's graduate program in chemical engineering has been growing steadily since the first doctoral degree was granted in 1965. Typically 50 to 75% of our graduate students are in the doctoral program. Clarkson also maintains a healthy research-based Master of Science program and a project-based Master of Engineering program.

Civil and Environmental Engineering (Ph.D., M.S., M.Eng.)
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has 16 full-time faculty members, about 250 undergraduate students and 30 graduate students. At the graduate level, the department offers programs of study in all areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering leading to the degree of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy.

Electrical and Computer Engineering (Ph.D., M.S., M.Eng.)
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has 19 faculty members who regularly advise 50 graduate students and approximately 350 undergraduate. This low student-to-faculty ratio makes it possible to maintain a close and friendly atmosphere that is often praised both by students and alumni.

Engineering Science, Interdisciplinary (Ph.D., M.S.)
Clarkson University offers M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Engineering Science for qualified students who desire graduate study in engineering that does not fit within any of the four engineering departments.

Engineering & Global Operations Management (M.S.)
Part-time interdisciplinary M.S. degree for working professionals that can be obtained through a combination of year-round online courses and three- to five-week summer sessions on campus. The program brings together participants from diverse industries and organizations focused on leading-edge concepts in both technology and management.

Environmental Science and Engineering (Ph.D., M.S.)
Masters and doctoral degrees in Environmental Science & Engineering (ES&E) span multiple disciplines to investigate how science and engineering interact with the environment in a broad context. The unusually broad background of ES&E graduates will enable them to better understand how engineering and science impact and inform policy decisions. The ES&E degree programs provide a flexible framework for students to develop course combinations and pursue research projects that fit their individual interests and needs.

Information Technology (M.S.)
 This interdisciplinary M.S. program includes courses from four academic disciplines: Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Management Information Systems, and Communication. The curriculum culminates in a master's project in which computer technology is applied to real-world problems. The program is particularly suited to graduates who have practical experience in software, hardware, networking, and computer service and training.

Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering (Ph.D., M.S., M. Eng.)
The Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering currently has 20 active faculty members and 47 graduate students. The department strives to maintain a close and friendly educational atmosphere. The excellent education we provide has drawn many compliments from our alumni.
