Graduate Program

Energize your Career in Electrical Engineering

The electrical engineering graduate program plays pivotal roles in the economy of the region, leading initiatives in technology and preparing a new generation of innovators. Graduate students play an essential part in conducting research that makes a difference to industry, government, and society.

The faculty members in the EECS program are leading experts in their respective disciplines. Our faculty members lead academic instruction and research activities in electromagnetic theory, algorithmics, and integrated circuits.

Students can obtain the following electrical engineering graduate degrees at WSU Tri-Cities:

Electrical Engineering Graduate School Admissions Requirements

In order to be admitted to the Master’s or Doctoral program at WSU Tri-Cities you must submit an online application to the Graduate School that includes:

  • Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
  • One-page statement of purpose
  • Three letters of recommendation (be prepared to enter recommender’s name and email address)

Students seeking admission to the graduate program in electrical engineering whose undergraduate studies were not in electrical engineering will be asked to take lower-division coursework.

  • EE 214 Design of Logic Circuits
  • EE 234 Microprocessor Systems
  • EE 261 Electrical Power Systems
  • EE 311 Electronics
  • EE 321 Electrical Circuits II
  • EE 331 Electromagnetic Fields and Waves
  • EE 352 Electrical Engineering Laboratory I
  • And any three of:
    • EE 341 Signals and Systems
    • EE 351 Distributed Parameter Systems
    • EE 361 Electrical Power Systems
    • CptS 360 Systems Programming C/C+

All or most of these courses should be completed before the student is eligible for admission into the MS or PhD Program in electrical engineering. In addition, the admissions committee may require students to complete other prerequisite courses.

Electrical Engineering Degree Program Requirements

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is instrumental in preparing students at all levels for technological productivity.
