Electrical Engineering (MS)
The Electrical Engineering graduate program at Alfred University provides excellent learning opportunities focused on the individual graduate student. The program enables students to specialize in communication systems, control systems, computer systems and software, power systems and machinery, high-voltage devices, optoelectronics, and solid-state devices.
The thesis option emphasizes traditional on-campus research whereas the project option, coupled with our distance-learning offerings, is particularly well-suited for working engineers seeking to continue their education on a part-time basis.
Courses for the Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering are listed in our digital Graduate Catalog.
Applicants to the MS program in Electrical Engineering should have a 4-year Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.
The program requires 30 credit-hours beyond the bachelor's level, as follows:
Candidates for the degree must submit a written technical report passing faculty approval to fulfill the requirements of the Master's project.
The program must be completed within three years of full-time study or six years of part-time study. Continuous enrollment is required.
Accepted full-time students are eligible for financial support, ranging from partial support (work opportunities) to full support (an annual stipend plus a tuition waiver). Students will be notified of their award upon acceptance.
Applicants who do not receive full support are placed on a waiting list for additional funding. Because additional support is not guaranteed, students who receive partial support should make plans to support themselves throughout the duration of the degree program. More information about the tuition rates, projected living costs, and the availability of loans is available on the Office of Admissions web page.
The application deadline is January 15 (Fall) for full consideration of funding. Applications will be considered after that date, but those that meet the deadline will receive priority funding consideration.
Graduate students also consider the following programs:
