Graduate Programs

The Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering offers master’s programs leading to the master of science in computer science (M.S.C.S.), the master of science in electrical engineering (M.S.E.E.), and the master of science in software engineering (M.S.S.E.). It also participates in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources interdisciplinary program offering the master of science in engineering (M.S.E.). Master of science students must comply with the rules for master’s degrees as set forth by both the College in the Guidelines for Masters Degree Programs Offered in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources and by the department in the Master of Science Program Guidelines.

The department also offers programs leading to the doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) in computer science, and the doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) with specialization in electrical engineering or computer engineering. Ph.D. students must comply with the rules set forth by both the College in The College of Engineering and Mineral Resources Doctor of Philosophy Program Guidelines and the department in the Doctor of Philosophy Program Guidelines.

Master of Science in Computer Science
 The Master's Degree program in Computer Science prepares you, the student, to explore a variety of opportunities after graduation.
Master of Science in Engineering
 The master of science in engineering program is available to students who are interested in graduate work in electrical or computer engineering but hold a baccalaureate degree from another field of engineering or from another discipline.
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
 There are three options available for students to gain a master’s degree: course work only (subject to the student’s advisory and examining committee approval), thesis option, or problem report option.
Master of Science in Software Engineering
 The M.S.S.E. degree provides graduate level software engineering expertise.
Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Engineering
 The doctor of philosophy program should be considered by those with superior academic achievement and who desire to pursue a career of research or teaching.
Doctor of Philosophy in Computer and Information Science
 The doctor of philosophy is a research degree rather than a coursework degree.
Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering
 The doctor of philosophy program should be considered by those with superior academic achievement and who desire to pursue a career of research or teaching.
