Every classified graduate student of Electrical Engineering program offered by San Diego State University must complete 30 units either by selecting Plan A or Plan B. Eighteen of the 30 units should be 600 and 700-numbered courses in electrical engineering. (Students in Plan A cannot use EE798 as a required course for graduation. Students in Plan B cannot use EE797 as required courses for graduation.) The remaining 12 units can come from 500,600 or 700 level courses from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Courses can also be taken from other departments in the College of Engineering or from the College of Sciences to satisfy these requirements, with the prior approval of the Graduate Advisor. Students are required to select courses to satisfy core course requirements and breadth course requirements in the department.
