Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

You’re a dedicated engineering professional who is ready for what’s next. Deepen your expertise and move your career forward with a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) from The University of Texas at Tyler. Train with experienced faculty engaged in cutting-edge research, and develop your knowledge of in-demand areas like power systems, communications, sensors, devices and computer technology. Choose a thesis option to conduct your own research or a non-thesis format for advanced coursework in a focused subfield. Either way, the program equips you with more specialized skills and knowledge to anticipate your next career move. Electrical engineers are a driving force behind the innovations that enable economic growth, solve challenging technological problems and increase energy efficiency. Maybe you would like to strengthen your professional credentials for positions of greater responsibility and pay. Or, you need specialized training to move into a new area of interest. Perhaps you are drawn to research and want to take your initial step toward doctoral studies. The master’s in electrical engineering is a 30-credit-hour course of study you can complete in two years. Our student-centered, hands-on approach gives you the ability to tailor your studies to match your career goals.

Students entering the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering program should have a background equivalent to that of students graduating from the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program offered at The University of Texas at Tyler. Your bachelor’s degree must be from an ABET-accredited program. Students who have not earned such a degree are required to complete prerequisite coursework before starting the MSEE program, as determined by the MSEE Graduate Coordinator. To be considered for admission, please submit or provide proof of: A completed online application. Official transcripts for all prior college- or graduate-level work, submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions. A satisfactory grade point average on your last four semesters of academic study and the last 60 semester credit hours of upper-division undergraduate or graduate courses. A demonstrated proficiency in the use of the English language, both spoken and written. A résumé.
