Earn an Ivy League Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Computer Engineering from anywhere in the world, online with Coursera

The MEng in Computer Engineering program is designed and delivered by the same world-class faculty who teach on campus at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. Dartmouth Engineering leverages Coursera’s online education platform to deliver the program curriculum, allowing online students to benefit from Coursera features such as interactive video transcription, in-course note taking, and seamless learning across multiple devices.

As a student, you can also expect live interaction with Dartmouth faculty including weekly live sessions. These interactions will be offered twice during each week, at different hours, to accommodate for different learner time zones. There will also be group work within the curriculum, as well as live office hours with faculty throughout your online experience.

Degrees on Coursera are powered by technology that lets you learn on your schedule and device of choice. Courses can be completed during commutes or other short periods of spare time. Courses include supplementary readings, video lectures, assignments, and discussion forums that help spark connections with your peers.

Women in STEM

Dartmouth is currently one of just seven leading national research universities and schools of engineering with both a female president and a female Dean of Engineering — all working to transform higher education and double the number of industry-ready women and people of color in a variety of engineering areas.

On average, women comprise nearly half of all students enrolled in Dartmouth’s engineering master's degree programs, exceeding the national average of 30 percent. Dartmouth was also one of the first major national universities to reach gender parity in 2016, and as recently as 2023, awarded more than half of Dartmouth’s undergraduate engineering degrees to women.
