      Thanks and I’ll content these two programs and see if they will provide suitable information for listing here. cheers, Fred

      PS: do you have contacts with these schools that I should reach out to?

    hi Fred, good compilation. aint there Doctoral courses on Reliability area? I cant find in the links suggested above.

    would be good if you can suggest few ..

      Hi Sriram,

      I the one I am sure has a doctoral degree is U of Maryland and I suspect many of the others do as well. There are many options available and it really is your first major research project to find the right program for yourself.

      Cheers,

      Fred
      PS: compiling the list of program is to help you get started.

    Hi, Alberta University is missing from the list. I believe a few other Canadian universities also have masters programs in Reliability.
