Master's Programs
Rigorous Study. Personal Mentorship. New Orleans.
Tulane’s School of Science and Engineering master’s programs are designed for students who want more than a credential. Here, you are not a number. You will be part of a close, supportive community where faculty know you, invest in you, and help you translate your strengths into momentum. As an interdisciplinary-first, translational School of Science and Engineering, we focus on work that matters, advancing better lives through science and engineering. You will learn alongside exceptional peers and be supported by dedicated faculty and staff who are committed to your success, whether your goal is career advancement, doctoral study, or another professional pathway. And you will do all of this in New Orleans, a one-of-a-kind city celebrated for its rich history, vibrant culture, iconic music as the birthplace of jazz, world-renowned cuisine, distinctive architecture, and unforgettable traditions, from Mardi Gras to festivals that fill the calendar. If you are looking for rigorous preparation, personal mentorship, and an experience you will not find anywhere else, we invite you to explore Tulane SSE and apply.

Tulane Students who want to learn more about the admissions and tuition for the Tulane 4+1 MS program should speak to their department advisor or chair for more information.
All of the 4+1 MS programs are in-person programs, and we expect students to be enrolled full-time and complete all requirements within 1 year. Students requiring more than 1 year will need approval from the Associate Dean of MS Programs: Dr. Marie Dahleh.
With permission of department and instructor, students also may enroll as non-degree special students, but they must have a bachelor's degree prior to enrollment as a non-degree graduate level student.
Special Tuition Rates and/or Scholarships offered by one MS program are not transferrable to another MS program.
