Electrical and Computer Engineering Master's Degree Requirements

Program | Faculty | Master's | Doctoral | Courses

A student entering the M.S.E.C.E. degree program in Electrical and Computer Engineering is assigned to a faculty member who acts as his or her program adviser. With the approval of the program adviser, the student selects a unified program consisting of 33 or more graduate credits, normally from courses chosen from the fields of engineering, mathematics, physics and computer science. The student also has the option of selecting a program which involves the preparation of a thesis (ECE 699, 6 credits) with only 24 additional course credits required. In this case, the student selects a major thesis adviser, usually after one semester of study, and in consultation with the thesis adviser, submits a proposal for thesis research to the student's thesis committee.

A brochure containing detailed information on the requirements for the M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering is available from the Departmental Graduate Committee.
