Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Electrical Engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. (http://www.abet.org)

Microsoft Scholarship Program for Cybersecurity and Computer Engineering Majors

Program of Study

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers undergraduate programs:

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering with Computer Engineering Option

Students in both programs will earn a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE). The option consists of a concentration on advanced digital system design courses that introduce advanced design topics such as VHDL  Advanced Computer Architecture, and VLSI. Students who select the computer engineering option will receive a notation of the concentration in computer engineering on their transcript upon graduation.
