Graduate Program Overview

Graduate Program

The Computer Engineering program offers the B.S. + M.S. program and the M.S. degree in Computer Engineering. Specific requirements for each degree are described below. The Computer Engineering major stresses the study of core computer science and electrical engineering topics. It prepares students for careers in the design of complex systems involving computer hardware, computer software, electronics, and electrical signals for communications, networking, desktop computing, and embedded computing.

M.S. in Computer Engineering

Students must be in residence for at least one year and complete a minimum of 44 quarters units of graduate and upper division under- graduate courses in or related to the major subject area. Students who have completed similar courses elsewhere may petition for waiver of a required course or for substitution of an alternative course.
