Accelerated Master of Science MS
Posted by Judy Donahue under Advice for Success, CpE, EE
New in ECE: Accelerated Master of Science degree
Undergraduate electrical engineers and computer engineers
are allowed to count up to six credit hours toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degree, and could finish their master’s degree in one academic year (two semesters). The credits must be at least 4000 level, lecture-based coursework. (Excludes UG research, individual project, enterprise and senior design credits)
Undergraduate students can apply, using the standard Graduate School application, as early as their junior year and may start taking graduate level courses during their senior year. ECE Applicants must maintain an undergraduate minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 to apply and to remain in the program.
Graduate School accelerated masters information.
Graduate School Application Checklist
Students may take graduate program courses under the Senior Rule if they have time for an extra course in senior year. This designates a course as “GR”, graduate level, making
the course available for possible use in a future graduate degree program. Courses taken under Senior Rule may NOT apply to the undergraduate degree. Senior Rule credits
could be transferred and considered by graduate programs outside MTU-ECE. Senior Rule credits are on your graduate transcript, and not on your undergraduate transcript.

ECE Areas of Specialization
Posted by Judy Donahue under Advice for Success, CpE, EE
What are the areas of specialization (focus areas)? EE and CpE majors can use their “EE Electives” or “CpE Technical Electives” to specialize in one or more areas. These courses include EE and CpE lecture-based courses taught in the ECE Department. CpE’s may also use CS courses for their CpE technical electives.
How to find out what the different areas of specialization, also called “focus areas” are about:
- View Eta Kappa Nu’s (HKN) presentation of Areas of Specialization within ECE:
Powerpoint slides, no narration.
- Meet with faculty who teach and research in the areas you are interested in. Find out what skills you’ll acquire and what type of work you could be doing. Consider doing research under a faculty member.
- Join an enterprise project which deals with areas you are interested in
- Take a semester to co-op with a company where you will be exposed to one or more areas of interest. This experience can help you decide whether to pursue a certain area or not.
- View EE Electives lists and Blog advice
