To earn your Master’s in Microelectronics and Photonics, you must complete 30 credits including the 3-credit core course, Introduction to Microelectronics and Photonics (EE/MT/PEP507WS). You must also take three elective courses (9 credits), three department core courses (9 credits), and three departmental electives (9 credits).
For details, see http://www.soe.stevens-tech.edu/mp/degree.html.

If you're a professional with a bachelor's degree, you can earn a masters degree in an outstanding online Microelectronics and Photonics program delivered by the same superior faculty who teach in conventional settings. You receive the finest professional education using rich Internet features -- threaded discussions, chat, bulletin boards, e-mail, file sharing, whiteboards, and workgroups for in-depth participation. You also have online library privileges, with instant search and retrieval of important databases. Courses are taught using the most widely adopted distance learning web system.

The course discussion questions encouraged everyone to talk. I am surprised at the amount of similarities between everyone’s respective fields."
