Electrical engineers develop and evaluate various electrical and electronic systems for numerous applications, such as power distribution, aircraft electronics, personal devices, telecommunications, radar systems, and laser technologies. The University of Oklahoma's Electrical Engineering program stands as one of the most comprehensive fields within the Gallogly College of Engineering. Learners utilize cutting-edge tools and technologies to gain practical skills for immediate career readiness after completing their studies. Those pursuing a Master of Science in ECE can select between a thesis-based path or two alternative non-thesis tracks, all of which provide pathways to doctoral studies. The thesis-based MSECE in electrical and computer engineering typically demands at least one year of full-time commitment, totaling 30 credit hours. A minimum of 12 credits must come from ECE or Computer Science courses, with an additional requirement of 12 advanced-level ECE credits (excluding thesis work). Multiple MS ECE pathways exist, featuring thesis, General Track (Comprehensive Exam) non-thesis, Industrial Internship non-thesis, and a specialized non-thesis concentration in Deregulated Electric Power offered in collaboration with the Business College. While advanced ECE and TCOM programs are accessible at both campuses, please note that ECE programs are managed from the Norman location, whereas TCOM operates from the Tulsa campus.
