MS/ME Programs

MS Computer Engineering

This program has a strong research component and is suitable for all students supported by research assistantships. The Master of Science programs require 24 hours of graduate course work, and 6 hours of thesis research. The Masters Thesis program also serves as a foundation for the PhD program for suitably qualified students.

All requirements for a MS or ME degree should be completed within a period of six-years. Major areas of computer engineering graduate studies and research are listed below. MS students may take 2 Core Courses, 2 or 3 Recommended Courses and the rest from the Suggested Electives.

ME Computer Engineering

The Master of Engineering programs require 30 hours of graduate course work. The ME program is ideal for part-time working students. All requirements for a M.S. or M.E. degree should be completed within a period of six-years. ME students may take at least 21 credits from any ECE graduate courses (including 9 from major area) and up to 9 approved credits from other related areas such as CS, ENMA, BUS, etc.
