The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department offers a Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering.

• Thesis and non-thesis options are available for the M.S. degree.
  • For a non-thesis degree, a minimum of 30 semester hours of coursework is required.
  • The thesis option requires 30 credit hours of coursework, and an additional six credits of ECE 699, which are devoted to individual study with a member of the graduate faculty.
