Applicants should normally have a baccalaureate degree in electrical/computer engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Applicants whose undergraduate studies were completed at institutions in countries other than the United States must have a baccalaureate degree in electrical/computer engineering comparable to the United States bachelor’s degree.
Applicants with degrees other than a baccalaureate degree in electrical/computer engineering will be considered on an individual basis. Those with baccalaureate degrees in other science and engineering disciplines may be admitted, subject to completion of appropriate undergraduate electrical and computer engineering courses.
In exceptional cases, the graduate admissions committee may consider applicants who meet all Graduate School admission standards but who do not meet certain specified program admission requirements. The committee may consider other evidence that indicates high promise of the applicant’s success in the program. Such supportive evidence may include extensive professional experience, published research, patents, or outstanding graduate-level work at another institution.
After admission and before enrolling in any courses, students are required to meet with the graduate program director who appoints, in consultation with the student, an advisory committee suited to each student’s background and interests. The chair of the advisory committee serves as the student’s academic advisor. Students are urged to file an approved plan of study with their academic advisor by the end of the first term of enrollment in the program.
