Curriculum - Interdisciplinary Studies in Engineering (Wireless Innovation), ME

To obtain the degree, you must satisfactorily complete 30 credits in graduate courses with a Capstone experience. Twelve of the credits will be achieved by completing a required advanced certificate.

This degree program has no option for a thesis and no more than 9 of the 30 credits may be transferred as part of this degree, based upon prior work at other acceptable institutions in subject matter relevant to the degree. No transfer credits may be applied toward any certificate. You must maintain an average GPA of at least 3.0 in all graduate courses at NYU-Poly for graduate credit.

Degree Requirements

• Complete a 12-credit certificate in any engineering department or in the Department of Computer and Information Science
• Take additional courses with adviser approval to total 30 credits. One or more management courses is generally encouraged.
