- Program Requirements: This program provides an accelerated pathway for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCE) to complete the Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCE) by sharing up to 12 credit hours of 5000- or 6000-level electives between the BSCE and MSCE degrees. To receive both the BSCE and MSCE degrees students must:
- Complete 90 credit hours of coursework with a GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Be admitted to the BSCE Professional Program
- Apply to the Accelerated Program, which grants conditional admission into the MSCE
- Complete all requirements for the BSCE with a GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Complete up to 12 credit hours of 5000- or 6000-level electives with a B- or higher in each shared course
- Formally apply to the MSCE program
- Complete the remaining requirements in the MSCE program
- Grade Requirements:
- Undergraduate: A grade of “C” or better in all ECE and support courses is required for this major (a grade of “C-” is not acceptable). Students must have an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher to graduate.
- Graduate: MSCE students must complete all program courses, including electives, with a grade of “B-” or higher. In addition, the overall program GPA must be 3.0 or higher.
- Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 138 credit hours is required for graduation with both degrees. The BSCE requires 120 credit hours and the MSCE requires 30 credit hours. A maximum of 12 credit hours of 5000- or 6000-level coursework can be shared.
- Program Codes: 8074BS, 8073MSCE

MSCE Admission Requirements
The Computer Engineering program is split into two parts, a pre-professional program and a professional program. Students who satisfy the pre-professional program admission requirements (below) should meet with an academic advisor to declare their major and be admitted into the pre-professional program.
Additional Admission Requirements for International Students
All international students and any applicant educated outside the U.S. must demonstrate proficiency in English. Those whose native language is not English, or whose language of instruction for their undergraduate degree was not English, will be required to submit an official score from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International Language Testing System (IELTS) which is not more than two years old. Applicants are required to have an internet-based TOEFL score of 79 (with a minimum of 17 in each category) or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5.
BSCE Professional Program Admission Requirements
The Computer Engineering program is split into two parts, a pre-professional program and a professional program. Students who satisfy the pre-professional program admission requirements (below) should meet with an academic advisor to declare their major and be admitted into the pre-professional program.
Retake Policy
Students in the pre-professional and professional programs may be placed on probation if they withdraw (without justification) or earn a grade lower than C twice in any one ECE course. Students on probation require a department override to register for any ECE course. If a student fails to pass a course (with a grade of C or higher) a third time, he or she will be dismissed from the program.

Electrical Engineering BS/MS Accelerated Program Elective Courses (maximum of 12 credit hours)
Any courses listed in the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Program’s elective page that are 5000-level and are completed with a B- or better is eligible for credit sharing. Students may not take a 6000-level course for the MSCE if a 5000-level course with the same name has already been completed.
Accelerated Program students may also enroll in 6000-level elective courses listed in the MSCE catalog and have those courses fulfill the BSCE elective requirements. A total of 12 credits can be shared between the BSCE and MSCE, regardless of level.
