The master's degree allows students to pursue advanced work in Electrical and Computer Engineering technical interest areas including bioengineering, computer engineering, digital signal processing, electric power, electromagnetics, electronic design and applications, microsystems, optics and photonics, systems and controls, and telecommunications.

The master's degree program requires thirty semester credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree, including a minor outside ECE. Both thesis and non-thesis options are available. Courses are offered all three terms; however, full-time students planning to complete the M.S. degree in twelve months should start their programs in the fall semester.

In order to receive the designated M.S.E.C.E. degree, a student must either (a) have an undergraduate degree from an ABET-accredited Electrical, Electronic(s), Computer or similarly-named engineering program, or its equivalent, or (b) complete additional coursework to satisfy the ABET General and Program Criteria for such a degree prior to receiving the M.S.E.C.E. Students who do not meet these requirements may pursue the undesignated M.S. degree with a major in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
