UMBC's Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering provides Master's and Doctoral programs in Electrical Engineering. This section details the Electrical Engineering graduate curriculum, key research fields within Electrical and Computer Engineering, and application guidelines. With 33 permanent faculty members, 15 research professors, four dedicated lecturers, and more than 20 affiliated and part-time instructors, the department fosters cutting-edge research in areas like AI, graphics, computer networks, database systems, computational theory, signal processing, microelectronics, and photonics. The department serves about 1,100 undergraduates across computer science and computer engineering programs, along with roughly 600 graduate students pursuing degrees in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and cybersecurity.

Qualification Requirements
The Graduate School recommends applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA or B average when applying.
For transcripts from schools abroad, the UMBC Graduate School will accept official WES (World Education Services) ICAP Course-by-Course evaluations but note that these evaluations are not required.
Students who are unable to meet the minimum GPA standards may still be admitted to graduate study by demonstrating outstanding performance on one or more of the graduate aptitude tests or by providing letters of recommendation from evaluators who can speak to the applicant's performance as a student or in a professional capacity.
Standards for admission to a doctoral program are generally higher than those for admission to a master's program. The terms of this admission are based on specific recommendations made by the applicant's department in conjunction with the Graduate School.
minimum TOEFL score of 80
TOEFL Essentials test is 8.5. Our ETS institution code is 5835.
The IELTS minimum is a total score of 6.5 for students wishing to study at UMBC.
ENEE 601, ENEE 623, and CMPE 691 (Embedded Systems and FPGAs) can each count as a Group B elective.
The core course requirement, i.e., the courses a student must take from Groups A and B is four rather than five (at least two of these courses must be from Group A). This is true for the PhD portfolio course requirements as well, i.e., students must satisfy the GPA requirement for four core courses rather than five.
