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.

Project

This degree option is ideal for students who want to conduct a research project without writing and defending an entire thesis. Students may also choose whether to perform their research and earn credits on-campus or through an industry project. READ MORE

Thesis

The thesis option is the most traditional Master’s degree track in which a student will perform research, develop and write a thesis, and defend their ideas in a dissertation. This track is ideal for students wishing to continue for a Ph.D. degree.
