Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Master’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering has three tracks to match a student’s various career and professional goals. Students admitted to the M.S. Program must choose one track to complete for graduation: The coursework option does not contain research or thesis requirements and instead fills the credit requirement with additional coursework. This track is ideal for students pursuing a Master’s degree for the advantage of enrolling in additional upper-level coursework. The project option fulfills some credits for the degree requirement through a research project of the student’s own design. The project must be approved by faculty advisers, must be submitted in a formal report, and must be presented publicly to an audience of peers and instructors. The thesis option is the most traditional Master’s degree track in which a student will perform research, develop and write a thesis, and defend their ideas in a dissertation. This track is ideal for students wishing to continue for a Ph.D. degree.
