Combined Electrical Engineering, BS & Electrical Engineering, MS

Program Description

The combined B.S. in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) /M.S. in Electrical Engineering (M.S.E.E.) program allows students to earn a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and a M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 5 years. Up to 9 semester credit hours of graduate electives at the EE 6000/7000 level may be double-counted and applied to both the B.S. and the M.S degree requirements.

Admission Requirements

Full-time student
