The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering program offers both thesis and non-thesis tracks. The non-thesis path requires completing 30 semester hours of coursework. For the thesis option, students must complete 30 credit hours, including six credits of ECE699 for independent research under a faculty advisor, resulting in a written thesis on a meaningful research topic and its oral defense. Thesis students must also complete one credit of Responsible Conduct of Research training, which may replace one ECE699 credit if approved by the advisory committee or Graduate Coordinator.
To earn the master's degree, students must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA in all graduate-level courses. Both program options require at least 18 credit hours from ECE courses.
