In addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate School, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering seeks the following from applicants to the Master's programs in Electrical Engineering:
Applicants should have baccalaureate degrees in electrical and/or computer engineering with a GPA of at least 3.0 out of 4.0. Applicants with baccalaureate degrees in fields closely related to electrical and computer engineering (e.g., electronics, computer science, mathematics, physics, etc.) may also be considered. However, satisfactory evidence on the aptitude to pursue graduate studies in electrical and computer engineering must be demonstrated. If additional preparatory courses are required, such courses should be taken before applying for the MSEE.
Applicants must have also satisfactory scores in the quantitative and verbal sections of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) general test. The GRE requirement will be waived for:
Applicants who have an undergraduate degree from an ABET accredited U.S. institution and have at least three years post-graduation experience in the related field
Recent UNC Charlotte undergraduates with a minimum GPA of 3.25
Currently enrolled UNC Charlotte undergraduate students eligible for the MSEE Early Entry Program with a minimum GPA of 3.25
For international applicants from non-English speaking countries, a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 220 (computer-based), 557 (paper-based), or 83 (internet-based) must be obtained. Other official English proficiency tests such as MELAB and IELTS may also be acceptable, as stated on the Graduate School's admissions page. a minimum overall band score of 6.5 on the IELTS is required for admissions consideration.
