Why this degree?

The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree will equip students with the knowledge and experience needed in diverse industries, from power distribution to biomedical research. Our program is available to both online and on-campus students and supports graduate study in control systems and robotics, digital signal processing and communications, wireless engineering, electromagnetics modeling and analysis, microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), power systems, digital systems and computer engineering. The online option of the MS degree recently ranked No. 15 among the Top 25 Best Online Master's in Electrical Engineering Programs, according to TheBestSchools.org for 2018.

You are eligible to apply if...

• Those who hold a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent from an institution of recognized standing (transcripts required) are eligible.
• Applicants with degrees in other science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines are also encouraged to apply and may be required to complete undergraduate electrical and computer engineering courses before official admission into the graduate program.
• The GRE is required, or TOEFL scores for international applicants.
• Letters of recommendation are also required. 

To complete the program you must...

• Online students may choose either the thesis or non-thesis option.
• For the M.S. non-thesis option, students must:
