Overview

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of Master of Science (M.S.) and of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Quick Facts:

The Graduate College publishes the Graduate College Handbook for Students, Faculty and Staff stating the various Graduate College requirements and regulations that apply to all graduate students. There are additional Departmental requirements that in some instances are more stringent than those of the Graduate College. Thus, the information in this manual (ECE Graduate Study Manual) supplements, and in many cases supersedes, the information given in the Graduate College Handbook.

In addition, a joint program leading to the M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Master's degree in Business Administration (M.B.A.) is offered in cooperation with the Department of Business Administration.
