The Computer Engineering (CpE) Program provides a Master of Science (M.S.) degree that includes a thesis component. Candidates should review the School of Engineering and Applied Science's Academic Rules in the Record for institution-specific requirements that complement the CpE Graduate Program's criteria.
To earn an M.S. in Computer Engineering, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits from graded courses along with 6 credits of 8999 (Master's Thesis Research), totaling 30 credits.
Every M.S. candidate must complete a thesis demonstrating research worthy of publication. Accordingly, all candidates are expected to submit at least one paper to a peer-reviewed conference or journal. The M.S. Thesis Defense committee is formed collaboratively by the student and advisor, with final approval from the CpE Program Director. This committee's chair must be affiliated with either the CS or ECE Departments, while at least one member must represent ECE and another must represent CS. Following thesis completion and advisor approval, a public oral defense is mandatory. This defense consists of a student presentation (capped at 30 minutes) followed by a question-and-answer session.

Qualification Requirements
The Computer Engineering Program (CpE) offers admission to two Graduate degrees, a research oriented Doctoral Degree (PhD) and an industry oriented Masters of Engineering (ME) Degree. (Note: Students who are interested in Research and have completed a Bachelor of Science degree are encouraged to apply directly to the PhD Program. A Master of Science Degree may be earned on the way to the PhD Degree.) Students in the PhD program are generally supported with a teaching or research assistantship. Students in the ME program pay tuition while taking courses. The submission of GRE scores is optional. All students whose first language is not English are also required to submit TOEFL or IELTs scores. However, TOEFL/IELTS is not required if the applicant has received a 4-year degree at an English-speaking institution (whether or not the institution is in the U.S.). If the applicant has a 4-year degree from a non-English-speaking institution and a Master's degree from an English-speaking institution, TOEFL/IELTS is still required. Most students admitted score at least 24 on all areas of the TOEFL, or a minimum of 7.0 on the IELTS in each area. Although we do not require applicants to have a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, we do expect all applicants to have a strong background in both computing and electronic systems.
GRADUATE RECORDS EXAM (GRE) are an optional credential and as an applicant you may decide if you want to submit your scores as part of your application. Should you choose to submit your scores, please send to institution code 5820. Please note, applicants who choose to include self-reported scores at the time of application are required to submit official GRE scores upon matriculation.
The minimum internet-based (iBT) TOEFL score requirement is 90 (including sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening). The minimum paper-based TOEFL score requirement is 600. Applicants may submit scores from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) as an alternative to the TOEFL exam. The minimum IELTS score requirement is 7.0 in each section
