    Master of Gas Engineering


    The Online Professional Master’s Degree Program in Gas Engineering is a joint program offered by Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and Gas Technology Institute (GTI).

    The objective of this degree program is to enable the student to build a strong foundation in the fundamentals of gas engineering, energy engineering, and related environmental and economic issues.

    Applicants to the program should hold an engineering degree (preferably in chemical or mechanical engineering), or a bachelor’s degree in science (such as environmental science, physics or chemistry). Students with a science degree must take the following bridging courses or demonstrate proficiency in each of these areas:

    1. Material and Energy Balances (CHE 202)
    2. Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Operations (CHE 301)
    3. Mass-Transfer Operations (CHE 302)
    4. Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (CHE 351)

    All departmental minimum admission requirements must be met.

    Candidates are required to take a total of 30 credit hours, 3 core courses are required, and 7 courses may be chosen from the 11 electives listed below. All courses are administered online.
