Electrical and Computer Engineering, ME

Courses are delivered via an online or web based program (like Adobe Connect/Breeze). Students meet online at designated times.

Students must be admitted to the USU School of Graduate Studies. For current enrollment criteria and an online application, visit www.usu.edu/graduateschool/apply.

General admissions requirements include:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering from an ABET-accredited institution
• Minimum 3.0 GPA
• Official transcript of all university/college coursework
• GRE exam scores (40th percentile minimum)
  • general test required, not the subject test
• Three letters of recommendation
• Students are expected to have a working knowledge of a high-level computer language (preferably C or C++)

• At least 18 credits of ECE coursework must be completed at or above the 5000 level.
• At least one ECE depth course (having a graduate-level prerequisite) is required
• At least 15 credits of 6000-level or above coursework (excluding ECE 6800) are required.
• At least 3 credits of professional experience (ECE 6250 internship or a lab-intensive course) are required. Up to 3 credits of ECE 6250 internship are allowed.
• A maximum of 12 credits outside of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department may be allowed, based upon a comprehensive academic plan. Courses must be approved by the Master of Engineering advisor.

Engineers desiring to take graduate classes without the intent of pursuing the ME degree can be enrolled as nonmatriculated students without taking the GRE. If, at a later time, they desire to apply for the ME degree, a maximum of 12 credits earned as a nonmatriculated student can be used for the master’s degree. Nonmatriculated students must have a bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering from an ABET-accredited program with a 3.0 GPA or better.
