Who Should Apply?

Practicing engineers and recent Bachelor of Science in engineering graduates are qualified to apply. The curriculum advances both the science and engineering of subsea systems. The participants will gain a solid, diverse knowledge base in subsea engineering as well as an understanding of industry best practices and state and federal regulations governing them. The courses are part of a graduate engineering program and are taught at the graduate level.

Student Qualifications

• A four-year bachelor’s degree in engineering or engineering related field is required.
• The Advanced Subsea Engineering Certificate is only available for Spring admissions.
• The Subsea Engineering Certificate program is not intended for F-1 Visa Holders for Fall admissions. However, F-1 Visa Holders are eligible for Spring admissions to the Subsea Engineering Certificate program.
• The GRE exam is waived for Subsea Engineering Certificate applicants.
