Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees with a major in electrical and computer engineering. These programs prepare students for careers in research and development in such areas as biomedical engineering; circuit design, VLSI, & CAD; communication systems; computer networks, distributed computing, & computer architecture; computer vision & robotic systems, control systems; digital signal & image processing; electromagnetics, microwave, & antennas; microelectronic devices & processing; microelectronic packaging & interconnects; optics; remote sensing & telemetering; and software, simulation & information systems. The department also offers an Online Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree.

The minimum admission requirements for the M.S. program are as follows: Bachelor’s degree from an institution recognized by the UA. Students who do not have a degree equivalent to the UA Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering may be admitted into the graduate ECE program but may be required to complete some undergraduate deficiency courses prior to enrolling in graduate courses. This policy also applies to students in the M.S. non-thesis option.
