Master's Degree Completion Options
The Master’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering has three options (coursework, project, and thesis) to match a student’s various career and professional goals. Students admitted to the M.S. Program must choose one option to complete for graduation.
Coursework
The coursework option does not contain research or thesis requirements and instead fills the credit requirement with additional coursework. This track is ideal for students pursuing a Master’s degree for the advantage of enrolling in additional upper-level coursework.
