GE ACE Program

The GE Advanced Course in Engineering (GE ACE) gives eligible GE employees the opportunity to earn a non-thesis master's degree from the University of Cincinnati. 

Available GE ACE Degree Programs at UC

Students can select from the following programs: 

  • MS in Aerospace Engineering
  • MS in Electrical Engineering
  • MS in Mechanical Engineering
  • MS in Materials Science and Engineering
  • MEng in Artificial Intelligence

Degree Requirements for Non-Thesis MS

A minimum of 30 credits hours are required for the MS non thesis degree:

  • 12 hours are transferred to UC for your "A" and "B" courses.  
  • 18 hours at 6000 level or higher are required to be taken at UC
    • 9 credits in students applicable program or an approved substitute 
    • 3 Math credits (For Mechanical & Aerospace only) or an approved substitute*; other programs select an approved GE graduate level course
    • 3 credit hours any CEAS engineering course**
    • 3  credits MS Project or an additional CEAS engineering course**

(*Graduate courses with MATH designation and engineering courses listed below)

(**Approved courses include any technical graduate level course from CEAS, excludes ENGR courses. If a student wishes to use an ENGR course, they need to complete an “official change form“ which is first signed by the GE coordinator. Every student must have at least 2 courses (6 credits) in the discipline of their degree.
