Master of Science - Electrical Engineering
Why this degree?
The non-thesis Master of Science degree will equip students with the knowledge and experience needed in diverse industries from power distribution biomedical research. Our program is available to both online and on campus students and supports graduate study in control systems and robotics, digital signal processing and communications, wireless engineering, eletromagnetics modeling and analysis, microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), power systems, digital systems and computer engineering. The degree recently ranked No. 15 among the Top 25 Best Online Master's in Electrical Engineering Programs, according to TheBestSchools.org for 2018.You are eligible to apply if...
- You hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent from an institution of recognized standing
- Applicants with degrees in other science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines are encouraged to apply and may be required to complete undergraduate electrical and computer engineering courses before official admission into the graduate program
- The GRE is required, and TOEFL scores are required for international applicants
To complete the program you must...
