Electrical Engineering
Graduate Programs
Description
The Engineering programs offer a Master of Science in engineering degree program. Students in this program may design their own program of studies by choosing courses from Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. The program is designed to serve the following: those engineers in business and industry who want to continue their formal engineering education at the postgraduate level; new engineering graduates who want to increase their depth of knowledge and develop an area of specialization; those graduates from other related science and engineering disciplines who want to broaden their backgrounds by pursuing engineering studies at the graduate level.
A Graduate Certificate in Global Solutions in Engineering and Technology is also offered.
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MS-EE)
(Thesis track: 32 cr; Design Project track: 32 cr; Alternate Plan Paper track: 34 cr)
The Electrical and Computer Engineering and Technology Department offers programs leading to a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MS-EE). The MS-EE allows students to complete advanced study in various areas of electrical engineering. Students are able to complete the degree with a thesis, design project or alternate plan paper. The program prepares students for various industry positions requiring or benefiting from additional competency in various areas of electrical engineering and can also provide a postgraduate degree suitable for those interested in pursuing a doctoral program in engineering.

Policies
Admission: Applicants to the electrical engineering program must meet the general admission requirements of the College of Graduate Studies. A BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a closely related field from an accredited program with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required. The GRE with a minimum quantitative reasoning score of 155 is required. International applicants must complete either the TOEFL or IELTS. A TOEFL score of at least 79; or, at least 6.5 overall band score if taking the IELTS, is required.
Financial Assistance: A limited number of graduate teaching assistantships are available for those individuals with substantial laboratory experience in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or related fields. Research assistantships may be available to exceptional candidates. Half-time and quarter-time assistantships include tuition waivers (18 credits maximum). It is recommended that applications for financial assistance be made by February 28 because announcements are typically made prior to the end of April for the Fall semester.
