Mechatronics Master's Degree Programs 2026

Updated September 2, 2026 | TradeCareerPath Editorial Team

Quick answer: A mechatronics master’s is a small graduate credential: 36 institutions awarded CIP 14.4201 at master’s level in 2024 (IPEDS Completions). It is not the hire-against degree for plant-floor automation work. This site does not invent a mechatronics-engineer salary.

What This Degree Is For

Graduate mechatronics is controls, robotics and automation on top of an undergraduate engineering base. It is not a shortcut around an AAS for technician work, and it is not a PE license.

If your goal is a coded engineering occupation with published wages, compare online mechanical engineering, online electrical engineering and online engineering management.
