Prospective graduate students whose bachelor's degree is a field other than electrical engineering will be required to take undergraduate leveling courses before they can be considered for admission to the electrical engineering graduate program. These courses will not count toward the 30-36 graduate hours required for the MSE degree.

Thie lists below show the general requirements; however, the Graduate Director will develop an individualized list for each candidate based on her/his backgroud. At the discretion of the graduate advisor, students may substitute similar courses taken in another discipline, for example, a junior level electromagnetics course taken as part of a physics degree, or a circuits course taken as part of a mechanical engineering degree. Students who lack only a few leveling courses may be permitted to start graduate EE coursework courses in parallel with their leveling work.

Notes

1. Leveling courses cannot be used to satisfy graduate course requirements
2. If an assigned leveling courses requires a prerequisite course, the candidate must satisfy the prerequisite requirements
3. The Graduate Director will develop an individualized list of leveling courses for each candidate based on her/his background.
