Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering
New Name, Same Program
The MS in Electrical Engineering (MS-EE) is now the MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MS-ECE).
Theonline Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MS-ECE), hosted on the internationally acclaimed platform, offers stackable graduate-level courses, graduate certificates, and a fully accredited master’s degree in electrical engineering.The MS-ECE on Coursera students earn the same credentials as ouron-campus students. There are no designations on official ĢӰ transcripts, diploma, or certificates,that this is an online program.
The diagram displayed below showsthat the MS-ECE on Coursera courses and certificates can be stacked into the full 30 credit hour degree.
