Electrical Engineering

General Information

The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree requires a minimum of 45 approved credits chosen in accordance with a plan of study arranged with the permission of a student’s adviser and the departmental graduate adviser. Students who complete a six-month period of internship through Drexel’s Graduate Co-op Program (GCP) must complete 48 credits including 6 GCP credits.

The plan must contain a selection of core courses from the department's offerings and may include appropriate graduate courses from other engineering departments or from physics or mathematics. Further information can be obtained from the department office or from the graduate adviser.

Full-time graduate students receiving teaching or research assistantships are required to complete a master’s thesis, for which up to 9 credits may be earned. Other full-time and part-time students also are encouraged to engage in thesis research. The combined thesis and research cannot exceed 9 credits.

The program is organized so that a student may complete the degree requirements in two years of full-time study or three years of part-time study.
