1. A bachelor鈥檚 degree from an accredited university or college, with an overall GPA of at least 2.75.

2. A minimum GPA of 2.7 in the last 60 semester units (or 90 quarter units) of undergraduate coursework.

3. All applicants, regardless of citizenship, whose preparatory education was principally in a language other than English, are required to pass an English Proficiency exam.

Regardless of an undergraduate degree,听ALL听students must fulfill with a 3.0 GPA or higher, the undergraduate prerequisite courses in Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering outlined below.

** The ECE Graduate Coordinator will determine which course(s) will be required.

1. Fulfill University requirements for classified status.
2. Complete prerequisite courses with听3.0听GPA or higher.
3. Submit a tentative program of graduate study approved by the ECE graduate coordinator.
4. Minimum grade in any course taken must be听"颁"听or better while maintaining an overall GPA of听3.0听辞谤听丑颈驳丑别谤.

For further questions and/or academic advisement, please email the ECE department office at ece@csun.edu to schedule an appointment with the ECE graduate coordinator.

For the Degree:

1. Completion of 30 units under either the听Thesis Plan听or the听Project Plan.听狈辞迟别:听听Students may not take a course (counting toward an MSEE degree) which is the same or equivalent to a course taken toward ones undergraduate program.
2. Formal approval of granting the degree by the Engineering Faculty.

Thesis Plan:

1. 24 units of course work applicable to the M.S. degree, of which at least 15 units must be 500/600-level ECE courses.
2. 6 units of ECE 698(Thesis) and a successful oral defense of the thesis before the thesis committee.

Project Plan:

1. 27 units of coursework applicable to the M.S. degree, of which at least 18 units must be 500/600-level ECE courses.
2. 3 units of ECE 698 (Graduate Project) culminating in a comprehensive report.

Graduate Program:

The 30 units of coursework in the graduate program must form a cohesive plan of graduate study that consists of suggested and elective courses from one of the seven options currently offered in the ECE department. The 30 units may include one graded unit of ECE 699A (Internship) as an elective course. Any additional enrollment in ECE 699A can only be taken on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis and will not be included in the 30 units required for the degree.

Application forms can be accessed through听听and are submitted online. The code number for the MSEE is听562440M.

All applicants, regardless of citizenship, whose preparatory education was principally in a language other than English must receive a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based, 213 on the computer-based or 79/80 on the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a score of 6.5 or higher on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Besides听TOEFL and IELTS, 听快活林性息 currently accept other tests such as Duolingo. All acceptable English language tests and minimum scores are listed on the听听辫补驳别.

It is the student's responsibility to be aware of all University regulations and restrictions such as:

1. No more than 9 units of transfer or extension work
2. Probation and Disqualification
3. Repeat of courses rules
4. Advancement to Candidacy
5. Academic leave
6. 7-years time limit for the completion of the degree
7. Graduation with Distinction
8. No more than 9 units of 400 level courses.

For details on the above, students are advised to attend one of the ECE graduate orientation meetings to meet with the Graduate Coordinator. Prior to the formation of their Graduate Committee, graduate students are advised by the Graduate Coordinator. After the formation of their Graduate Committee, graduate students are advised by their Committee Chair. All courses taken towards the MS degree must be approved by the Committee Chair and the Graduate Coordinator.

Students need to complete 30 units to receive a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. This includes 13 units of core requirements and 11-14 units of ECE elective courses, depending on whether they select the graduate thesis or project option. For the graduate project option (3 units), students are required to take 14 units of electives. For the graduate thesis option (6 units), students must complete 11 units of electives.

Within this degree students may choose an area of concentration in Biomedical Engineering, Communications and Radar Engineering, Control Engineering, Digital and Computer Engineering, Electronics, Solid State Devices and Integrated Circuits Engineering, Microwave and Antenna Engineering and Power Systems Engineering. Suggested courses for each of the concentrations are indicated in the listings that follow.

Note: No more than 9 units of ECE 400 level courses are applicable toward an MSEE degree. Additionally, ECE 450, ECE 455, and ECE 480 do not count toward graduate credits. You must obtain approval from the Graduate Coordinator before enrolling in any 400-level courses.

In general, graduate students are not required to take ECE labs of 400-level courses. However, some courses may require the concurrent enrollment in the lab sections. Students are advised to meet with an advisor as soon as possible to plan their program. All graduate programs in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering must be approved by the faculty advisor and the Graduate Coordinator.
