Graduate Programs in Electrical & Computer Engineering
Explore 300+ Electrical & Computer Engineering graduate programs at 100+ universities across 9 countries.
Overview
Electrical engineering and computer science programs combine the hardware and software sides of computing in one department. Students can move between circuits, signal processing and communications on one side and algorithms, systems and artificial intelligence on the other.
A master's lets you build depth on the hardware side, the software side or across both. A PhD trains researchers across the full range of the field for university faculty and industrial research careers.
Graduates become hardware and software engineers, chip architects, machine learning engineers, embedded systems developers and research scientists. Semiconductor, computing, communications and AI companies recruit heavily from these programs, and graduates who combine hardware and software skills are especially valued.
Most Electrical & Computer Engineering programs charge between $15,000 and $67,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $22,000 and $71,000.
