Electrical & Computer Engineering > Graduate Programs – MSTE

Students seeking a Master of Science in Telecommunications Engineering must complete 30 semester hours beyond the baccalaureate; (five core courses and six electives). Each student must complete six elective courses, four of which must come from the recommended engineering and computer science electives. Two free electives can be graduate courses offered by the Erik Jonsson School.

MS Requirements

Our electrical engineering, computer engineering and telecommunications engineering master’s programs have both a non-thesis and thesis option.

Non-thesis students need an MS Advisor and a degree plan. Of the required 30 semester hours, certain semester credit hours could be research (EEGR/CE/TE 8v70) or individual instruction (EEGR/CE/TE 8v40). All part-time Master’s students are assigned initially to the non-thesis option.

In addition, both non-thesis and thesis students must receive a grade of B- or better in the core courses; maintain a core course GPA of 3.0 or better, and an overall GPA of 3.0 or better.
