The ESE Department offers masters-level and doctoral-level degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Systems Science and Mathematics. The MSEE and MSSSM programs require 30 credit hours of study and have both a course option and a thesis option. At the doctoral level, we offer both the Ph.D. and D.Sc. degrees, which typically require 4 to 5 years of full-time study leading to an original research contribution. 

Research activity in the ESE Department is focused in the following three areas:

• Applied mathematics, systems, and control
• Electronics and optics
• Signal processing, imaging, and communications

Students working in any of these areas will enjoy the benefits of programs that balance fundamental theoretical concepts with modern applications. In our department you will find ample opportunities for close interactions with faculty members working on cutting-edge research and technology development.
