The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering provides graduate programs culminating in Master of Science (MS), Master of Science in Engineering (MSE), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. Students can also pursue combined degree pathways, including an integrated MSE/MBA program, through partnerships with other university departments. These offerings are coordinated via the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies. Our engaged alumni community fosters valuable connections between students, recent graduates, and leading organizations across industries. NAME careers represent dynamic, diverse opportunities that our graduates actively define and transform. This naval architecture and marine engineering curriculum empowers engineers to specialize in cutting-edge and expanding technical domains.
Applicants normally hold a Bachelor of Science degree in naval architecture and marine engineering. However, the graduate program has been structured so that students with a bachelor’s degree in other engineering disciplines that require knowledge of basic mechanics such as mechanical engineering, applied mechanics, aerospace or civil engineering may also start directly on their master’s program. Students without an undergraduate degree in naval architecture and marine engineering but with a bachelor’s degree in other engineering disciplines will be required to take NA 470 (Foundation of Ship Design).
