The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering is offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Your course of study includes completion of computer programming, computer-based modeling, and electrical/computer engineering courses. You also conduct a research project with an electrical/computer engineering faculty member. This unique training prepares you for future engineering practice that requires engineers to master both electrical/computer engineering and computational methods.
The vast majority of our students either receive admission to another graduate school for doctoral study or job offers from industry before they graduate. Examples include: Amazon, Apple, Georgia Tech, Google, Intel, Mathworks, Northrop Grumman, Penn State, P&G, and Raytheon.
Different types of financial aid are available on a competitive basis; these include a research assistantship, a teaching assistantship, a full tuition waiver, and a partial tuition waiver. If you are interested in applying for a graduate award in the form of an assistantship, indicate those for which you would like to be considered when completing the application.

Students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department with a declared major in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Robotics Engineering can apply for early admission into this MS degree. Students from other majors are welcome to apply provided they meet admission requirements. Students can be admitted on a provisional basis to the combined program anytime during their academic career at 兔子先生, from the time they apply for undergraduate admission.
Upon earning a minimum of 64 hours and having a GPA of 3.25 or greater, students majoring in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Robotics Engineering, may apply to a combined program by completing the Graduate School application and submitting materials as required by the program to which they are applying. Standard application and admission procedures shall be used. For students from other majors, besides satisfying the requirements of minimum of 64 credit hours and GPA of 3.25 or greater, they should have credits for following undergraduate courses:
ECE 205, ECE 287, ECE303/ECE314, ECE 304, and ECE 306
Both full- and part-time students may participate in the combined program at a department's discretion. Regular time-limits for completing the master's degree apply to students in a combined program.
Students may double-count up to nine hours of graduate coursework toward their undergraduate degree. With permission of the appropriate advisor(s) and dean(s) or their designee(s), these students may count the graduate courses toward their major, minor, electives, and university requirements. A minimum of 150 hours is required for the combined program, of which 30 must be graduate course work.
Students in a combined program will remain undergraduates until they apply for graduation or submit a request to the Graduate School to have their classification changed from undergraduate to graduate. Students must have completed a minimum of 128 hours to be classified as a graduate student. Students may receive their bachelor's degree prior to completing their master's degree. Upon receiving the bachelor's degree, students will automatically be classified as graduate students. Students receiving the bachelor's degree prior to completing the master's degree can count up to nine hours of graduate course work toward their bachelor's degree. Those hours can also count toward the completion of their master's degree, as indicated above.
Students may withdraw from the combined program by completing a withdrawal form at the Graduate School. The student must note on the withdrawal form that he/she is withdrawing only from the combined program and wishes to retain their status in the undergraduate program. The student must also notify their department of their decision to withdraw from the combined program.
