The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides graduate programs culminating in a Master of Science (MS) in electrical engineering and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in electrical engineering. The MS curriculum combines comprehensive coursework with hands-on problem-solving experience, balancing broad knowledge with focused expertise. Students complete their studies with a master's thesis and defense, allowing for concentrated research on contemporary electrical engineering subjects. These programs align with faculty research specialties, covering diverse fields such as computer engineering, cybersecurity, electromagnetics, telecommunications, digital signal processing, control systems, power engineering, power electronics, sustainable energy solutions, energy storage technologies, energy transformation, robotics, and nano-scale electronic engineering.
To be considered for admission, candidates must have earned a bachelor of science degree (or equivalent) in electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline, from an Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)-approved program, a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for all work attempted beyond sixty semester hours of undergraduate study, and a minimum score of 148 points for the quantitative section and 145 points for the verbal section of the GRE.
International candidates must also pass TOEFL and obtain a minimum of 80 on the Internet-based exam or 550 on the paper-based exam or IELTS and obtain a minimum of 6.5 points.
