MSc in Electrical Engineering in Reno United States | University of Nevada, Reno

The electrical engineering graduate program provides adaptable curriculum options, featuring minimal mandatory courses to allow collaboration with faculty advisors in tailoring coursework to your professional aspirations and academic interests. Our program equips you with comprehensive training to assume leadership positions in electrical engineering while engaging in innovative research.
The electrical engineering master's degree offers two distinct pathways:
Thesis track: Students undertake specialized electrical engineering coursework and develop a thesis focused on a chosen research area. Key departmental specializations encompass image/signal processing, electromagnetics/microwaves, and power systems/renewable energy.
Non-thesis track: Students substitute the academic thesis with a 3-credit professional paper. This paper's subject may be determined by your advisor, addressing relevant topics in the field. Evaluation will be conducted by either your advisor or an advisory committee.

The M.S. in Electrical Engineering aims to equip graduates for industrial careers, research laboratory positions, or entry into prestigious Ph.D. programs. Students gain specialized expertise and research capabilities in specific electrical engineering disciplines through advanced coursework and the development of an original M.S. thesis. Successful thesis research should lead to publications in respected national or international journals and conferences.
