Accelerated Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering

Undergraduate students at UM that are interested in graduate study in Electrical Engineering can get a head start through the Accelerated Master’s Degree Program. 

Undergraduate students that would like to qualify for the Accelerated Master's Degree Program must meet the following requirements:

  • Major in BSEE or BSCpE
  • 3.25 minimum GPA
  • 92 completed credit hours as an undergraduate

Number of credit hours a student can earn towards the graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies:

  • 15 credit hours (allowing two 500-level graduate courses to double as both undergraduate and graduate credit)

Courses undergraduate students in the Accelerated Master's Degree can take to earn credit towards the graduate degree:

  • EI E 523 Microwave Engineering—elective for UG majors
  • EI E 525 Introduction to Antennas—elective for UG majors
  • EI E 534 Wireless Mobile Communications—elective for UG majors
  • EI E 535 Digital Communications—elective for UG majors
  • EI E 586 Digital Signal Processing—elective for UG majors
  • ENGR 525 Numerical Methods in Electromagnetics
  • MATH 575 Mathematical Statistics I
  • MATH 576 Mathematical Statistics II
  • CSCI 561 Computer Networks
  • PHYS 501 Intermediate Electromagnetic Theory I
  • PHYS 502 Intermediate Electromagnetic Theory II

Remember: Students who fail to reserve 500-level courses for graduate credit at the time they take the course will not receive graduate credit for the course (graduate level work must be completed to earn graduate credit). 

  • Reserving graduate credit with 500-level courses is required to ensure the Graduate School and instructor know the student must complete graduate credit requirements for the course. 
  • Students cannot later claim graduate credit for 500-level courses if they did not take the appropriate steps to notify the Graduate School prior to taking the course.
