Our Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Electrical Engineering is intended for students who want to work in one of the many areas of electrical engineering.
Accelerated Graduate Pathway: Electrical Engineering
Getting to Graduate School Faster
Accelerated Graduate Pathway: Electrical Engineering
The Accelerated Graduate Pathway: Electrical Engineering provides outstanding undergraduate students the opportunity to make simultaneous progress toward the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or Cybersecurity Engineering and a graduate degree in engineering.
How It Works
Undergraduate students admitted to the Pathway can take up to 16 credit hours of coursework toward a graduate degree, applying up to 9 credit hours of specified coursework towards the Bachelor of Science as well.
Electrical Engineering and Cybersecurity Engineering undergraduates commonly use this pathway to complete some coursework toward the Electrical Engineering master's degree (M.S. Thesis track or M.S. Non-Thesis track) or the Doctor of Philosophy: Specialization in Electrical Engineering while enrolled as undergraduates.
A student who takes full advantage of the pathway can typically complete the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (M.S. Thesis track or M.S. Non-Thesis track) within one year after completing their Bachelor of Science.

-
Cybersecurity Engineering Major
The Cybersecurity Engineering Bachelor of Science degree prepares students to secure both software and hardware against cyber threats in today’s interconnected world.
Finish with a Master's Degree or a Ph.D.
-
Electrical Engineering M.S.
Graduate study in electrical engineering will give you the tools to design, implement, and test and create the next generation of electrical and electronics systems. Our faculty conduct research in specializations like navigation systems, controls systems, photonics, optoelectronics, machine learning, and bioinformatics, to name just a few.
-
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Ph.D.
A doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science educates engineering professionals to become leaders in industry, government and university positions who are committed to the highest standards of professional ethics, lifelong learning, and improving the human condition.
