Electrical Engineering Graduate Program

This graduate program offers one of the best academic experiences among public universities. Our students become skilled in their research areas by learning from the depth and breadth of our graduate class options, which are considerable. Our faculty members are active in state-of-the-art research and training within electrical engineering and across disciplines by working with faculty members in other departments. Despite the size of our programs, students will find support from their faculty advisory committee members to develop a personal plan that satisfies degree requirements and matches their needs, interests, and long-term goals.

Electrical engineering is a diverse field that embraces many specialty areas, which include:

Computer Engineering Graduate Program

This program focuses on the design, analysis, and application of computers and their applications as components of systems.
