This program option is designed to provide a means for ECE undergraduates to obtain both a B.S.E.E. and a M.S.E.E. degree with 154 credit hours of coursework (normally: B.S.E.E. 130 hours, M.S.E.E. 30 hours, total 160hours). Students electing to utilize this option will follow the existing undergraduate curriculum for the first seven semesters. In the final undergraduate semester, two graduate courses (450 level) will be taken in lieu of two ECE electives listed in the undergraduate curriculum. The student receives a B.S.E.E. degree at this point. A M.S.E.E. program can be completed in three additional semesters. Students must obtain prior approval of the department before starting this program option.
