Master of Science
in Electrical Engineering
The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering curriculum encompasses 45.0 or 48.0 (with the Graduate Co-op option) approved credit hours, chosen in accordance with the following requirements and a plan of study arranged with the departmental graduate advisor in consultation with the student’s research advisor, if applicable. Before the end of the first quarter in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, for a full-time student, or by the end of the first year for a part-time student, said plan of study must be filed and approved for a plan of study with the departmental graduate advisor.
Students completing an MS in Electrical Engineering must choose to complete the requirements for one of the five concentrations offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The required departmental credit hours must be broken down into the following manner based on the chosen concentration.

| *Additional Requirements/Options | 15.0 | |||
|
||||
| With the remaining required 15.0 credit hours, students may take graduate coursework, subject to the approval of the departmental graduate advisor, in electrical and computer engineering, mathematics, physics or other engineering disciplines. | ||||
| Although not required, students are encouraged to complete a Master’s Thesis as part of the MS studies. Those students who choose the thesis option may count up to 9 research/thesis credits as part of their required credit hour requirements. | ||||
| Students may choose to participate in the Graduate Co-Op Program, where 6.0 credit hours can be earned for a six month co-operative education experience in industry, working on curriculum related projects. The total number of required credit hours is increased to 48 for those students who choose to pursue the Graduate Co-Op option. This change represents an increase in non-departmental required credit hours to a total of 18.0 credit hours, 6.0 of which are earned from the co-operative education experience.
