A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

- Description
- The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) program is designed to provide advanced experience with post-graduate electrical engineering principles and skills. The program has a thesis option with 31 required credit hours, and a non-thesis option with 34 required credit hours. Either option has the students undertake an individualized engineering development experience, either as a two-course Thesis, or a one-course Master Project. All students are required to complete a one-credit Professional Perspectives course to increase exposure to recent developments and to aspects of professionalism. All students are required to complete a three-course concentration, either one of the predefined concentrations or an individualized concentration. Students may be either full-time or part-time. Although some classes or parts of classes may be able to be remote, the program is designed as an on-campus program. Some of laboratory exercises require use of physical apparatus in the labs, so students will need to be on-campus for those courses. The expected background of the students is a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or another engineering bachelor’s degrees that included a significant component of electrical engineering (DC and AC circuits, analog and digital electronics, and signal processing). Certain of the concentration or elective courses may have additional expected background related to their field. The transcripts of incoming students will be reviewed to determine whether foundation or prerequisite courses are required or recommended. If a student has been required or recommended to take such a course, a maximum of two graduate-level foundation courses may be applied as elective courses toward the requirements for the MSEE degree. Full-time students may complete the program in two or three semesters (within one calendar year), depending on how many graduate-level engineering courses were transferred in (maximum of six credits), and whether the thesis or non-thesis option is chosen. Part-time students may complete the program in two to four years, depending on transfer credits, the choice of the thesis or non-thesis option, course load per semester, and whether courses are taken during the summer semester.
