Academic Requirements

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above at all times.
The minimum passing grade for graduate-level courses is “C”.
The graduate work must be completed within seven (7) years starting from the time the first course is applied towards the MSEE degree.

Program Requirements

The MSEE degree requires the completion of 30 credits divided between required core courses, focus area courses, electives, and thesis/graduate paper.

For the general MSEE option, students are required to take three core courses (EEEE-602, 707, and 709) and choose 5, 6, or 7 elective courses based on their choice of thesis, graduate paper, or comprehensive exam, respectively.

For the MSEE degree with a focus area, students are required to take the above three core courses and advised to take five focus-area courses as shown in the program chart if all focus-area courses are offered during their span of study. Students opting for the thesis option don’t need to take additional courses. Students opting for graduate paper or comprehensive exam option are required to take one or two additional electives, respectively.

All courses, except EEEE-795, are three (3) semester credit hours.

Students opting for the thesis option are required to take eight (8) courses in addition to thesis. Students opting for the graduate paper option are required to take nine (9) courses in addition to the graduate paper.

The graduate paper (EEEE-792) must be completed in one semester and is graded with letter grades F-A. Students may not split the graduate paper credits over multiple semesters.

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above at all times. A student with a cumulative GPA of less than 3.0 will be placed on probation per the university policies (which may lead to suspension). University rules on probation and suspension apply.

The minimum passing grade for graduate-level courses is “C”.

The graduate work must be completed within seven (7) years starting from the time the first course is applied towards the MSEE degree.

To graduate, students need to complete all the requirements as listed in the curriculum graduation policy
