You'll be studying one of the lesser sought-after majors if you pursue a Master's Degree in engineering mechanics. It is ranked #256 out of 343 major degree programs in terms of popularity. As such, your educational options may be more limited than if you were in a more popular field.
In 2025, College Factual analyzed 2 schools in order to identify the top ones for its Best Engineering Mechanics Master's Degree Schools ranking. Combined, these schools handed out 70 master's degrees in engineering mechanics to qualified students.
To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their master's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their master's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.
Other Factors We Consider
In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:
Major Focus - How much a school focuses on engineering mechanics students vs. other majors.
Major Demand - The number of engineering mechanics students who choose to seek a master's degree at the school.
Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
Student Debt - How much debt engineering mechanics students go into to obtain their master's degree and how well they are able to pay back that debt.
Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized engineering mechanics related body.
Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for engineering mechanics students working on their master's degree.
Since the program you select can have a significant impact on your future, we've developed a number of rankings, including this Best Engineering Mechanics Master's Degree Schools list, to help you choose the best school for you.
