This degree program is designed for students seeking to expand their expertise in ECE. MS candidates can choose from three study paths: 1) coursework-only: complete ten post-bachelor's courses and pass a comprehensive exam, 2) project track: take nine courses and complete a faculty-mentored project, or 3) thesis option: enroll in eight courses while conducting original research under faculty guidance. The thesis route is ideal for those pursuing specialized research, requiring students to investigate a specific ECE field, produce a scholarly thesis, and successfully defend it. ECE faculty collaborate with university research hubs including the Applied Research Center, Frank Reidy Center for Bioelectrics, and Virginia Modeling Center. Regional partnerships extend to NASA Langley, Jefferson Lab, and the National Institute of Aerospace, providing exceptional research opportunities. The program combines rigorous coursework with hands-on research to develop future engineering leaders for industry, government, and academia. It balances theoretical foundations with practical applications through faculty expertise and access to specialized department laboratories and regional research facilities. Active faculty research initiatives offer graduate students valuable experience and potential funding. Department research spans multiple cutting-edge areas including plasma technology, cybersecurity, microelectronics, medical imaging, power systems, photovoltaics, and vision technologies.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants are expected to hold a B.S. degree in electrical engineering (EE) or computer engineering (CpE) from an accredited institution. Applicants are also expected to have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in both the baccalaureate major area (EE or CpE) and overall. Applicants with a GPA below a 3.0 may be considered for provisional admission, which may require additional prerequisite courses in addition to the graduate degree requirements. The applications are submitted through the Office of Admissions of Old Dominion University. Together with the completed application form, two letters of recommendation from former instructors or employment supervisors, transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, GRE scores, a resume, and a personal statement of objectives are required. TOEFL scores are also required for international applicants. Applicants with academic degrees in areas other than electrical and computer engineering will be considered. Those with degrees in math, physics, computer science, or other engineering fields are encouraged to apply. The linked Bachelor's/Master's degree program in the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology at Old Dominion University is designed to provide an opportunity for exceptionally qualified engineering undergraduate students to obtain both a bachelors and a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Typically undergraduate students apply at the end of their junior year for admission to the linked programs.
