DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers concentrations in Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering under the Masters of Engineering (M.E.) degree program of the College of Engineering. The M.E. degree requires: 1) admission of all degree-seeking students to candidacy for the degree after the completion of nine (9) graduate credit hours in residence at the University; 2) a minimum of thirty-three (33) graduate-semester-hours of course work, including at least six hours of mathematics, three (3) credit hours of special problems in engineering applications (design project), and six (6) credit hours of electives with the consent of the advisor.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
For unconditional admission to the Master of Engineering (ME) degree program, the student must have a bachelor's degree in engineering or science from an accredited program and must have the necessary prerequisite courses. If the evaluation of a student's undergraduate degree program reveals prerequisite deficiencies, the student must eliminate them by satisfactorily completing each of the prerequisite courses prescribed before the unconditional status is achieved. None of the courses used to eliminate undergraduate deficiencies may be used in the student's program of study for the ME degree.
For admission with unconditional classification, in addition to the above the student must possess a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
For admission with conditional classification, in addition to the above, the student must have a passing score of 70 on the Fundamentals of Engineering examination and a GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required.
All students applying for admission must submit to the Graduate School one completed Graduate Application form and, two copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended.
