MSE Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Texas at Austin

Programme overview

The Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering currently offers three Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) programs to meet differing needs: the Traditional MSE program, the Integrated BSECE/MSE program, and the single-track Alternatively Scheduled MSE program with a concentration in Software Engineering. The latter program is offered through Texas Engineering Executive Education (TxEEE). The Traditional and Integrated BSECE/MSE programs share the same academic track advisors; the Alternatively Scheduled MSE program has its own academic advisor. Students in each of these MSE programs are expected to meet the same academic standards.

Application information

Entry requirements

Graduate admission (applies to the programme): Admission to the graduate program in ECE is highly competitive and based on a holistic review of all application materials by admission committees composed of faculty within the applicant's chosen academic tracks. Standards for admission generally exceed the minimum standards established by the University. The Chandra Family Department of ECE neither requires nor considers GRE scores in the selection of students for admission. Applicants to the graduate program of the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering normally will have an undergraduate degree in this field. Applicants with a degree in another field also may be considered if their background is appropriate for the chosen area of specialization.

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.

Graduate entry terms are summer and fall; each graduate program sets its own application deadline.

Graduate application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants; MBA (and dual programs with MBA) $200; MPA $125. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline. Fee waivers are available only to U.S. citizens/permanent residents applying for a first graduate degree (not MBA or MPA).
