Students may not double count credits toward both degrees.
The required courses for the BEE degree remain the same as for students pursuing a traditional 4-year degree. No specific required courses are given for the MS degree. However, students must meet the criteria listed in the MSEE Plan A and Plan C charts.
Plan A Requirements | Credits |
EE graduate courses | 14 semester credits |
non EE courses for the related field or minor requirement | 6 semester credits |
Plan A Thesis | 10 semester credits |
Plan C Requirements | Credits |
EE graduate courses | 14 semester credits |
non EE courses for the related field or minor requirement | 6 semester credits |
either EE courses or non EE courses | 10 semester credits |
Plan C paper/project/oral requirement must be satisfied either in coursework listed from the approved list or by registering for the Plan C project. |
Most students will complete their BEE degree at the end of the fourth year of study, well ahead of completing the MSEE. However, for some students in this program it may be advantageous to have them stretch out the completion of the BEE during the summer and into the fifth year. In all such cases the student would be required to complete the BEE course requirements prior to or simultaneous with the date at which they apply for the MSEE graduation. In all cases, award of the BEE degree will precede award of the MSEE degree.
The first three years of the student’s program are identical to the approved Electrical Engineering undergraduate curriculum for the semester system for the freshman, sophomore and junior years. Samples of the fourth year (first year as a graduate student) and fifth year (second year as a graduate student) under this proposed dual degree program are shown below:
