Prerequisites for Admission—Graduate work is open to students who have shown exceptional scholarship and ability in an accredited undergraduate curriculum in electrical engineering or physics. Consideration is given to students who have completed another curriculum in engineering, science, or mathematics that includes sufficient preparation to pursue a graduate program in electrical engineering. In some instances, additional preparatory studies may be required after admission. Students whose training is in engineering technology will not be considered for admission.
