Degrees and Research Areas

Princeton Engineering graduate students participate in high-impact research projects across a variety of disciplines and benefit from close relationships with world-class researchers and teachers.

Research ecosystem

Beyond Princeton Engineering’s 11 interdisciplinary centers, and 48 areas of departmental research outlined below, graduate students collaborate fluidly across the University and its two associated national laboratories. It is common for engineering graduate students to work with co-advisors in other departments. These collaborations spark creativity and amplify impact.

Degrees Offered

Most graduate students at Princeton Engineering are pursuing a Ph.D. A limited number of openings are available to pursue Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E) and Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees; please contact the departments (see links below) for more information. Students seeking a Ph.D. should apply directly to the doctoral program; it is not necessary to seek a master’s degree first.

Inclusive Community

Princeton Engineering recognizes that building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community enables everyone to do their best work.
