MSEE Changed to MSECE
Posted November 11, 2019
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has modified the Master of Science degree that is offered. Previously, the degree was a Master of Science with a major in Electrical Engineering, MSEE. The new graduate degree is a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, MSECE. The new degree will enhance the potential job market and will be appropriate for those with a more diverse range of undergraduate majors.
Along with the change is a modification in the required courses. For the new MSECE degree, these are the course requirements:
The program of study requires a minimum of 33 semester hours of graduate credit, at least 18 of which must be at the 500-level. Program core requirement specifies at least one course from each of the following two areas:
- Signals and Systems: ECE 532, 535, 539, 563, or 574
- Computer Systems: ECE 538, 577, 581, 582, 584, or 585
- In addition, ECE 510 is highly recommended for all graduate students.
Up to six hours may be taken in out-of-department courses. The out-of-department courses can be any graduate-level courses in the School of Engineering, biological sciences, chemistry, environmental sciences, mathematics and statistics, or physics, or be approved by the advisor.
Thesis and non-thesis options of study are available.
