Currently, the School of Engineering offers 16 graduate level programs online, including 6 master’s degrees,[2] 2 advanced certificates[3] and 7 certificates of completion.[4]

History

The “e-Poly” story began back in 2006, as the online learning wing of the then Polytechnic University. The department was initially designed for its on-campus students to blend and accelerate their time to degree completion by taking some courses online. The first program offered entirely online was the Cybersecurity master's degree. By 2009, e-Poly program offerings included 3 master’s degrees and 2 advanced certificates. In 2009, e-Poly was renamed NYU-ePoly, in recognition of the university’s affiliation with NYU. Following the School's name change in October, 2015, the department was renamed NYU Tandon Online.[5] As growth remains constant, today NYU Tandon Online offers over 65 online courses in diverse technology and management fields.
