Today’s work landscape is constantly evolving, making it challenging to stay a step ahead and successfully differentiate yourself as the “best candidate” for that promotion or new position.
Early and mid-career professionals need to keep their skills and industry knowledge up to date, acumen sharp, and build connections that will help them excel in their field and achieve their career goals. And they need the ability to do it on their own time–while working full time and enjoying home life–without settling for a lower quality education.
Clarkson’s online master’s, certificate and micro-credential programs offer the high-quality and reputable education we’re known for – taught by experienced faculty with decades of teaching and industry experience – in a flexible and easily accessible format.
Because in 2024, it isn’t just about “work-life” balance. It’s about work-life-study balance.

How Online Learning at Clarkson Works
We’re a community of collaborative innovators striving to make an impact through our work — whether in the lab, the boardroom or the field. That mindset remains steadfast no matter where we are: in our online courses, students continue growing their skills alongside other driven, creative individuals while learning from world-renowned faculty.
Fully Online
We currently offer 10+ master’s programs and 13 certificate programs that can be completed fully online. These programs allow you to further your education in a number of areas like engineering, computer science, data science and business.
Course Structure
Our online graduate degree programs combine synchronous and asynchronous learning. Typically, you’ll participate in one live virtual class each week; however, we record the lecture for those unable to attend this time slot. As a result, some students are able to complete their degrees entirely asynchronously.
Part- And Full-Time Study
Most working professionals are interested in part-time study. Our online graduate programs are flexible, so you can take just one course at a time, take on a full-time course schedule, or take time off if needed. Your academic advisor will help you plan out your course schedule and make changes to your degree plan, if needed.
Online Courses and Professional Development
We’re here whenever your skills need a refresh. And, as America’s Corporate Partner University, we collaborate with employers to create fully online professional development programs for their workforce.
Individual Courses
Clarkson offers fully online or paired online courses to currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students. Check availability for the fall, spring and summer semesters.
Advanced Certificates
Broaden your knowledge base or pivot to an emerging field. For candidates holding a bachelor’s degree, our advanced certificates introduce you to business fundamentals or applications in supply chain management, human resources, data analytics, healthcare management and other areas. And if you decide to move forward with a master’s degree upon completion of the certificate, you can apply those credits towards your degree!
Micro-Credentials
Specialize your engineering and technical knowledge, explore the foundations of leadership or get a glimpse of what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur. Taught by Clarkson faculty, our micro-credentials are open to alumni and working professionals, as well as current students. Contact the Office of Micro-credentials at microcredentials@clarkson.edu for more information.

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Newsletter: March 2024
Message From the Chair
Welcome to the March issue of the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Newsletter. This edition presents two new grants for solar-related research, interesting findings on respiratory particle emissions, and other recent activities of our students, faculty and alumni. I hope you enjoy reading about our achievements as we continue to develop and implement innovative solutions in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Children's Respiratory Particle Emissions
Image
An article published by a research team, which includes Prof. Byron Erath, in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology explains its findings that age influences the size and quantity of respiratory particle emissions in humans during activities, with children releasing fewer and smaller particles than adults. Thus, incorporating age demographics into disease transmission models may improve their accuracy.

Solar Dynamo
Image
Prof. Chunlei Liang has been awarded an Air Force Office of Scientific Research grant of $240K to model the global solar dynamo and simulate the magnetic field of the sun. All space weather has its roots in the solar magnetic field, but the global dynamo producing this magnetism remains difficult to predict numerically.

Solar Cell Advancement
Image
Prof. Brian Helenbrook's work to develop new models of solidification kinetics has been awarded a nearly $555K grant from the NSF. He'll use the models to optimize the horizontal ribbon growth process – a technique for producing thin wafers of single-crystal silicon for use in solar cells, which could lower production costs by 75 percent.
