MSc in Computer Engineering in Clemson United States | Clemson University

The Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides Master of Science and doctoral programs in computer engineering. Research initiatives within the department are organized into four primary fields: communications systems and networks, computer systems architecture, digital signal processing, and intelligent systems.

Master's students enroll in one of several specialization tracks—including applied electromagnetics, electrical engineering communication networks, digital communication, digital signal processing, electronics, intelligent systems, and power and energy systems—and must fulfill their chosen track's requirements. The M.S. program offers both coursework-only and thesis pathways. The coursework option requires 30 credit hours minimum, with at least 18 at the 8000 level. The thesis alternative also demands 30 credits, featuring 12 at the 8000 level plus 6 hours of ECE 8910 (thesis research). Research assistants typically must select the thesis route, while those considering doctoral studies are strongly advised to pursue this option. The Ph.D. curriculum includes a direct-admission pathway for exceptional bachelor's degree holders. Doctoral candidates in computer engineering complete at least 24 graduate course credits and 18 research credits beyond their master's requirements.
