Joint BS in Computer Engineering/MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering

University of Illinois Chicago College of Engineering 12 courses

About This Program

The joint Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCE) and Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE) is designed for undergraduates with outstanding academic performance who desire to pursue graduate studies in electrical and computer engineering, or who wish to prepare themselves for advanced placement in the workplace. Students will earn both a 4 BSCE degree and an MSECE degree upon completion of the program, with 8 hours of coursework shared between the two degrees. The requirements for completion of the joint degree program are identical to the completion of the two separate degrees; however, 8 hours of shared coursework may be used for both degrees. Completion of 120 semester hours at the undergraduate level (p. 297); plus 8 shared hours counting toward both degrees; plus 28 hours at the graduate level will result in joint BSCE/MSECE degrees. Students who have completed at least 30 hours of ECE core courses and have an overall institutional GPA of 3.25 or higher can apply for the joint program. Undergraduate students admitted into the joint program can register for two technical-elective ECE courses and receive graduate credit for them. In taking 400- level courses as graduate-level courses, students may take advantage of differential credit to earn 4 hours (in each course respectively), instead of the typical 3 hours (or they may earn 5 hours if the course is already a 4-hour course with a laboratory component). These two courses, which may apply up to 8 hours to both degrees, will require pre-approval by an academic advisor and will be recorded in the student’s academic record by the ECE Student Affairs Office; in addition, the ECE Student Affairs Office will submit the necessary paperwork to allow the undergraduate student to register for the graduate section of these courses that will be used at the
