Suggested Courses and Programs of Study
The following are suggested Programs of Study for a full-time Computer Engineering graduate student pursuing an MS degree with an emphasis in a fields of Computer Architecture, Digital Design, and Communications / DSP. It is not required that students follow these course schedules, but it can used as a guide for planning out their graduate studies
These Programs of Study meets the requirements for the Coursework option and can easily be modified to meet the Project option. Students who wish to complete the Thesis option will need to take 10+ credit hours of ECE 6970 Thesis Research are recommended to meet with the Graduate Student Coordinator to create their academic plan.
As long as the MS degree requirements are met, any 5000-level or above ECE or allied (Math, Physics, CS, or other Engineering) courses may be substituted.
