The ECE Department offers a full range of accredited degree programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering through the Ph.D. Level, Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity and interdisciplinary Master's Degrees in Software Engineering and Cybersecurity. These programs are designed to not simply train students to be users of current technology but to educate them so they actually understand how this technology works. This allows them to be innovators throughout their lives and become active contributors to the ever-changing technological landscape. Course requirements, including at least 48 hours of graduate coursework (excluding dissertation research), are defined in the Program of Study.
