ECE offers its graduate students on-going opportunities to work as Graduate Research Assistants or Graduate Teaching Assistants. Virtually all Ph.D. students receive funding support through teaching or research.

Students with a previous degree in engineering or a related field from a recognized institute of higher education are eligible to apply for admission to our graduate programs.

Transcript (unofficial or official) for eligible degrees. Official transcripts are welcomed but are only required after you have been admitted.

Most students who are accepted into the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering's graduate program have a degree in electrical and/or computer engineering. Applicants with degrees in other engineering disciplines, computer science, mathematics, or the physical sciences are also eligible to apply. Qualified applicants with degrees in disciplines other than electrical and/or computer engineering are encouraged to take undergraduate ECE courses as preparation before enrolling in ECE graduate courses. Persons with engineering technology (EET) degrees or persons with non-engineering degrees not mentioned above must first earn a bachelor's or master's of science degree in one of the disciplines listed above before applying to our graduate program.
