The M.S.E.E. is intended for students with a baccalaureate degree in electrical engineering or other related fields. Admission requirements include a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (A=4.0) in the last 60 semester hours of the bachelor’s degree and a minimum combined score of 1000 in the quantitative and verbal portions of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).

Degree Requirements The thesis option requires of a minimum 30 semester hours of approved course work including a maximum of 6 hours of thesis credit. At least half of the required credit hours must be at the 6000 level. An approved program of study is chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. The program must include at least 9 credit hours in electro-optics from OSE-5111, OSE-6211, and OSE-6560 or equivalent. The students must one course (3 credit hours) from two other areas including; communications, controls, DSP, electromagnetics, electronics, or solid state and microelectronics.
The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 36 semester hours of approved course work. Program requirements are the same as the thesis option except that the thesis requirement is replaced by 12 hours of course work. Students are required to pass a final comprehensive examination.
