DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

The Master of Science (M.S.) program allows for a thesis and non-thesis option. The thesis option requires 24 semester hours of graduate course work and 6 semester hours of thesis research. An oral defense of the thesis is also required.

• Coursework Policy for MS Students (thesis option)

The non-thesis option requires 33 semester hours of graduate course work. For applicants without prior engineering degrees, a Bridge Program is required. This program enables bridge students to complete their M.S. degree in roughly 6 months more than a student entering with a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. A Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree typically requires two years beyond a bachelor’s degree.
