Online Master’s Degrees
George Washington University Master’s Degree
Students can their engineering master’s degree online through George Washington University (GWU), which is ranked as one of the best online colleges for this degree. At GWU, students have six degree paths to choose from, including additional specializations:
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
Specialization in Electrical Power and Energy
Specialization in Communications and Networks
Master of Science in Engineering Management
Master of Science in Systems Engineering
Master of Engineering in Cybersecurity Policy
Master of Engineering in Cybersecurity Analytics
Master of Engineering in Cloud Computing Management
The majority of these degrees consist of 30 credits and take about two years to complete, while both the engineering management and systems engineering programs require 36 credits to graduate and can take up to three years to complete. All degrees are offered 100% online and range in cost from about $975 to $1,075 per credit. Course requirements vary greatly from one of these degree programs to the next, though each program offers a comprehensive curriculum that blends foundational knowledge with career-preparation training.
An institution’s program specfic score is calculated with seven data points: (1) its student-to-faculty ratio, (2) its the graduation rate, (3) its retention rate, (4) its percentage of online students, (5) its concentrated Influence (a measure of the academic importance of a school), (6) its desirability (a measure of how many students chose to go to an institution), and (7) its exclusivity (a measure of how selective the insitutionis).
For each data point, we score schools based on where they fall compared to the other institutions on our site. Because our scores are based only on institutions with engineering programs and not tied to institutions without these programs, they accurately reflect an institutions’s value to the engineering student. Institutions with missing data receive a zero for that data point.
We weigh each data point and calculate an institution’s raw score. Then we create an adjusted raw score by combining a schools's score with a base score of 50. Finally, we score and rank institutions based on their adjusted score’s comparison to the top scoring institution.

Focused on online engineering colleges, our relative cost score compares the average in-state tuitions of institutions with online engineering programs.
Schools that offer a tuition guarantee promise students a fixed tuition rate for a portion of, or the entirety of, their education. This may or may not include fees and other costs.
Schools that offer a tuition pre-payment plan allow students to pay for future credits, semesters, or years of tuition at present-day prices and then use these credits, semesters, or years at a later date.
Schools that offer a tuition payment plan offer students the option to pay for their education in installments instead of a lump sum.
