Master's Degrees Available Online
"The UIUC program will be challenging and demanding, but at the end I will know that I have earned a real degree from one of the top-ranked CS graduate schools in the US." -- Bob Rudis
Our Master of Computer Science (MCS) and our Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) are available through the Engineering and Computer Science Online program. A degree earned through our online program is the exact same top-ranked degree awarded to students attending UIUC on-campus.
Students may take courses before being admitted to a degree program. Up to 12 hours of credit taken prior to being admitted, may be transferred into the degree program with departmental approval.

"I had a very positive experience with the online program. Having a full-time job and refereeing high school volleyball and basketball did not allow for any definite on-campus classroom time but with the flexibility of the online program, I was able to view the lectures at my leisure and complete the course work by the time it was due. My busy schedule was not conducive to on-campus classes so the online program gave me the opportunity to obtain a master's degree and continue working full-time." -- John Dudley, graduated with his MSME through the Engineering and Computer Science Online program
