Dive Into Robotics With a Master’s Degree Program

3 students working around a table in RUCWork hands-on with robots while gaining a deep understanding of important concepts in robotics, electrical and computer engineering, systems engineering, and mechanical engineering in our master’s degree program in robotics engineering at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

You can take classes in person, online, or a combination of both. We schedule all classes in the late afternoon and evening so they’re convenient for part-time students who work.

Where an MSE in Robotics Engineering Will Take You

A 30-credit master’s degree in robotics engineering will open doors in numerous sectors such as manufacturing, health care, agriculture, aerospace, and defense. The rise of automation in various industries is creating a high demand for skilled professionals who can design, maintain, and apply robotic systems.
