The online Master of Science in Engineering in Technology and Innovation (MSE-TI Online) program builds on Penn Engineering’s entrepreneurship ecosystem, extending a legacy of innovation that connects technical depth with real-world application. This degree prepares engineers to define, develop, and deploy technology in real-world contexts while staying at the forefront of emerging engineering fields.
By learning from faculty across engineering, business, design, and law, students gain the interdisciplinary perspective needed to connect technical, product, and business decisions in practice.
Become a technology leader who can guide what gets built and how it is deployed—grounded in current and emerging engineering capabilities.
Admission to the MSE-TI Online program is very competitive. We look for applicants who are likely to succeed in, benefit from, and contribute to the program. For tips on how to strengthen your application, read our Admissions Advice articles.
In addition to the online application, you’ll need to submit a personal statement, letters of recommendation, transcripts, and a resume, along with offical English Language Proficiency scores (TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo) if you’re an international applicant or a non-U.S. citizen/permanent resident for whom English is not their first language. For details, see MSE-TI Admissions page.
MSE-TI Online is a new program so the outcomes data is not available at this time. Please refer to the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Career Outcomes report.
Yes, these are asynchronous, remote programs with no required log in sessions.
A Penn Engineering Online degree program requires the successful completion of ten courses. Students have access to a Student Success Advising Team that can help them plan their course schedule and overall degree plan. Students can easily switch between part-time and full-time registration each semester based on how many courses they take. Enrollment in the summer semester is optional. We encourage all students to meet with a member of our Student Success Advising Team to discuss the course load and route to degree completion that best fits their needs. Depending on how many classes you take each semester, you can complete the program in 16 to 40 months.
Tuition and fees are based on the number of courses you are taking per semester. For details about costs, see our Tuition & Financing page.
The MSE-TI Online program is designed for students with a background in computer science or related fields who want to deepen their expertise in AI, data science, software systems, and other evolving domains while operating across technical, product, and business contexts.
