    Yes. A friend of mine did a one year M.Eng at Cornell (about 30 credits). Obviously, this was not distance education... but you should know that it is possible to do a Masters in Engineering in one year.

    Thanks for replying mate.
    So if it is 30 credits, then this means it is a full master, compressed into one year, right? Twice the work?
    I am talking about the normal master, 30 credits in two years, but I only take the first year or 15 credits, because I don't have the cash for two years yet.

    Thanks for replying, mate.

    What is so special about Cornell that they offer masters in 1 year? Is is a high workload degree?

    Are the total tuition fees almost the same as other 2 year master degrees?

    I am asking about a regular 2 year degree, but just the first year of it.

    Hey there. I'm not so sure what makes their program any more unique or different than other M.Eng programs... since it is not my field.

    However, you can probably find out more information about that and other graduate/professional degrees at the link below.

    Most US universities charge by the course.

    To take on year of courses sign up to take the degree then only take the first year of courses. Although doable, attempting 15 units in one year via DL may be tough going.

    Why would you want to just take one year? If it is to avoid a thesis there are masters degrre with no thesis; for example Online Graduate Degrees, Certificates, and Courses - CSU Online Plus

    Again... this has no DE component, but it relates to the original question.

    Here is more information on Cornell's one year M.Eng degree.

    What is DL?

    I wanna take only one year because that is the amount of tuition fees that I can pay now.

    And if I can do that, can I later after a few years take the 2nd year to complete the masters?

    Thanks a lot, mate

    It depends on the hours, but if you're searching for something like that online, it would normally be considered a "graduate certificate" or some variation of those words or similar words.

    (Based on a private message)

    The original poster (OP) has a desire to take a Masters of Engineering, but due to finances, can only afford to do the first year. The OP would want to finish a few years later.

    I have a new question now:
    What did the OP do for undergrad? Did I miss it?

    Yes, It depends on the hours. When you're preparing your application, you should consider applying for special entry programs and including courses as possible upgrading options in your 6 QTAC preferences.
