Summary The Master of Cost Estimating and Analysis (CEA) is a 24-month, distance learning graduate degree program designed to increase the accuracy and proficiency of DoD cost estimates and cost estimators. Students will learn cost estimating techniques commonly used in both DoD and industry, and acquire foundation skills and hands-on experience in all aspects of cost estimation, including shipbuilding, aircraft, software, and many other areas. Students take two courses per quarter for eight quarters. Case studies and a capstone project will complete the program. This program blends web-based, online instruction, with video tele-education (VTE), and is especially tailored to students whose careers will not allow them to get away for a full-time graduate education program. While web-based courses are paced week-to-week by the instructors, students have the flexibility to do their coursework at times of their choosing during each week. The VTE classes meet at a pre-determined time, once per week for three hours during the workday.
