The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees Section of this catalog. For more information about the ECE program, please visit: https://www.eng.ufl.edu/academics/degree-programs/ and the accompanying ECE major pages in this catalog.
In addition to the thesis and non-thesis master's degree options and the research-based Doctor of Philosophy degree, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering also offers a combination bachelor’s/master’s degree program. This program allows qualified students to earn both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree with a saving of one semester. Qualified students may begin their master’s programs while seniors, counting up to 12 hours of specified electrical and computer engineering graduate courses for both bachelor’s and master’s degree requirements. Bachelor’s/master’s program admission requirements are
- satisfaction of Graduate School admission requirements for the master’s degree,
- an upper-division (undergraduate) GPA of at least 3.3, and
- completion of at least 7 EEL core courses and 2 EEL laboratories.
Students with a GPA between 3.3 and 3.59 can double count up to 6 hours, while students with a GPA of 3.6 or higher can double count up to 12 hours.
