EECS offers MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science, as well as MS-MBA degrees in each of the three majors. In addition to these in-person programs, EECS offers a fully online MS degree program in computer science geared toward working professionals. Finally, interested students can earn minors in computer science and interdisciplinary computational science and certificates in artificial intelligence and machine learning, power and energy systems, wide bandgap power electronics, and fire protection engineering.
MS degrees may be completed during three semesters of full-time study or two to three years of part-time study. MS-MBA degrees take five semesters of full-time study. The online MS degree takes two years. Here are our minors and certificates:
PhD degrees take four to five years of full-time study for students who enter with a BS degree and about three years for students who enter with an MS degree. Students divide their time between course work and dissertation research.
