Graduate students in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering may pursue the designated master of science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.S.E.C.E.) degree. The academic requirements for this degree are summarized below. More details can be found here.

You must be enrolled as an undergraduate student in the ECE program in order to be eligible for this degree.

This program allows students to receive either the bachelor of science in electrical engineering or bachelor of science in computer engineering and a master's degree in electrical and computer engineering within a five-year time frame. Students completing both a bachelor’s and master’s in electrical or computer engineering may also be eligible for the Graduate Option where they may use up to six credit hours of senior/graduate-level ECE coursework for both degrees.

Georgia Tech offers online master’s degrees for Electrical & Computer Engineering (M.S.E.C.E.) and Cybersecurity (OMS Cybersecurity). Both are administered through Georgia Tech Professional Education.

Designed for working professionals, both online programs allow you to earn your degree on your own schedule, in your own home, and without sacrificing your career – or the quality of a Georgia Tech education. You’ll connect with your instructors, fellow learners, and the material itself using multi-platform digital learning tools.

The M.S.E.C.E degree allows you to pursue options in computer engineering, telecommunications/digital signal processing, and electrical energy/systems and controls. To learn more about this degree program, visit the M.S.E.C.E website. Please note: The master's thesis option is not offered for the online program but the coursework requirements are otherwise the same as for on-campus students.

Beginning Fall 2019, the OMS Cybersecurity degree will offer a specialization in Energy Systems with a focus on the security of cyber-physical and embedded systems in the energy domain. To learn more about this degree program, visit the OMS Cybersecurity website.

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering participates in the Interdisciplinary Bioengineering Graduate Program, which is housed in the College of Engineering. The program offers advanced courses in bioengineering, engineering specialties, and life sciences combined with research and development of new or improved physical and mathematical concepts and techniques, which may be applied to problems in medicine and biology.

The bioengineering program offers master's and doctoral degrees through participating schools in the College of Engineering and the College of Computing. Interested applicants with an electrical and/or computer engineering background apply for admission in the bioengineering program through ECE. Once admitted, students follow the bioengineering program degree requirements and curriculum.

Additional information on the bioengineering program, including how to apply and a comparison between the bioengineering program and traditional engineering programs, can be found on the Georgia Tech Bioengineering Interdisciplinary Program website.

Graduate students in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering may pursue the Master of Science in Cybersecurity with a Cyber-Physical Systems track (M.S.C.S.E.C.) degree. This degree will also be available online beginning Fall 2019. The academic requirements for both are summarized below.

M.S. in Cybersecurity Coursework Planning Worksheet

Further requirements: The Master of Science in Cybersecurity degree requires 32 credit hours of coursework (including a 5 credit practicum project course). Two of the core courses, which students in each track will take, will provide a broad overview of technology and policy dimensions of cybersecurity. The flexible core course will provide breadth because it must come from a track separate from the one in which a student is enrolled. Finally, a practicum project (5 credit hours) with common learning objectives across all participating units will be a core requirement.

Classes used toward the M.S.C.S.E.C. degree must have grades of “C” or higher. Only the courses listed are acceptable for the M.S.C.S.E.C. degree. Access additional information pertaining to the M.S. in Cybersecurity.

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering participates in the Interdisciplinary Robotics Graduate Program.  According to the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, automation and robotics is expected to be a primary area of growth in Georgia over the next decade. To meet this growing demand, the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed a new professional interdisciplinary master’s Program in Robotics.

The MS-Robotics program is offered collaboratively by six schools in the Colleges of Engineering, Computing and Sciences. This 36 credit-hour, cohort-based program is a professional Master of Science in Robotics over four semesters designed to produce industry-ready engineers and scientists with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to meet the challenges of rapidly growing interdisciplinary technologies in professional careers related to designing and developing robotics and automation solutions.  Students with diverse and eclectic backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including those with previous work or research experience. Each school has its own set of admission criteria but the program generally requires a minimum GPA of 3.3.  To learn more about this degree program, visit the MS Robotics website. For a full listing of MS admissions guidelines and deadlines, visit the ECE Graduate Admissions website.
