Online Software Engineering PhD Programs

Software engineering applies engineering methods to the specification, design, construction, testing and maintenance of software systems. Only degrees officially titled software engineering are listed — not general computer science degrees.

Software engineering is well suited to online delivery; team projects and capstones are usually completed online.

Labs and attendance in software engineering

Software engineering is well suited to online delivery; team projects and capstones are usually completed online.

Accreditation

Every school listed holds institutional accreditation from a recognized agency. ABET accredits individual programs, mostly at the bachelor's level; a listing shows ABET only when ABET's database matches that program. About ABET accreditation

Deadlines and tuition are shown with their intake and academic year. Past dates are marked passed, never rolled forward.

School or program keyword

Physical attendance

“Fully online” needs the school's own statement that no campus visits, labs or residencies are required.

Labs

ABET accreditation

Matched to ABET's own database. Most graduate programs are not ABET-reviewed.

Degree

Dedicated degree or concentration

Classification

Engineering Technology is a related classification, never counted as engineering.

Delivery

Hybrid programs meet in person regularly; they are related options.

School

School location (state)

Where the school is based — not where you must live, and not proof that residents of that state may enroll.

Institution type

Schedule & length

Study intensity

Online class schedule

Only where the school states it.

Published length

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Cost, admissions & funding

Tuition

Estimated total = published per-credit rate × required credits (or a published program total), using the rate for all online students or nonresidents. Fees excluded. Programs without comparable data never match. How it works

GRE policy

Missing GRE information never counts as “not required”.

Funding

Campus assistantships are not assumed to apply to distance students.

Published enrollment restrictions

Programs whose school publishes state authorization restrictions for online students.

Deadline

Order

Reset

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, unpublished attendance rules are not “fully online”, and an unmatched program is not ABET-accredited.
