Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Thesis Option

The thesis program, leading to the Master of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, requires thirty semester hours of credit. Six hours of Thesis (ECE 599), one hour of ECE seminar (ECE 580) and at least fifteen hours of 500-level courses are required. Thus, a maximum of eight hours of 400-level courses could be counted toward the degree requirements. With the approval of the Department, a maximum of six hours from academic units outside the ECE Department could be applied toward the degree. The degree is awarded following a comprehensive examination covering the candidate’s entire program of study, including the thesis.
