The master of science (MS) program offers two plans, thesis (Plan I) and master’s project (Plan II). In each, the student must complete 30 graduate semester hours. To satisfy the breadth requirement, two courses outside the area of specialization are required and two mathematics courses are recommended. Plan I requires a minimum of 24 semester hours of graduate course work and 6 semester hours of MS thesis work. Plan II requires a minimum of 27 semester hours of graduate course work and 3 semester hours of MS project. A minimum of 21 graduate semester hours must be earned through the electrical engineering department at CU Denver. Candidates with a BS degree from CU Denver can count 6 electrical engineering CU Denver graduate credits toward both undergraduate and graduate degrees if their undergraduate GPA is at least 3.0. Double counting applies only to credits earned with a B or better grade.
