Application information

Entry requirements

The admission process considers all of the application material including official transcripts, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, and answers to EE Department supplementary questions. No single objective factor is used to finalize the decision for admission or to deny admission. It is expected that an applicant have background in such areas as linear systems, dc and ac electronics circuits, static and dynamic electromagnetic fields, microprocessors, among the courses completed in a typical electrical engineering curriculum. Students with an BS in other fields are encouraged to apply, but they may be required to remedy a lack of required EE courses by taking additional EE courses. An attempt will be made to match the technical aspirations of the potential graduate students with the departmental resources in order to provide a stimulating academic environment for the students and their graduate education. GRE is not required for admission.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Entry terms: Fall, Spring and Summer.

Doctoral application priority dates: Fall February 1, Spring August 15, Summer February 15. Some programmes have earlier dates. Apply through ApplyUTA.
