We offer certificates of graduate studies (COGS), Master of Science (MS), Master of Engineering Management (MEM), and Doctoral (Ph.D.) programs in a broad range of engineering disciplines.
Engineering Clinics
The Clinic concept is the signature facet of Rowan's unique engineering curriculum. Inspired by the medical education model, the clinic program is the place where students, faculty, theory and engineering applications converge. It's the place where students experience a hands-on approach to learning about engineering, under the guidance of credentialed engineers. Clinics are a continuous and substantial part of the curriculum and thread through the entire four-year undergraduate program.
Faculty & Staff
Since 2013, we have doubled both student enrollment and full-time faculty.
