The Harry Lynde Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers graduate degree programs leading to the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in electrical engineering and computer engineering. The M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs are offered through the Blacksburg campus as well as extended campus consortia (National Capital Region, Northern Virginia Center, Falls Church, Virginia; Central; Hampton Roads; Western, and VT-MENA through Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt). The M.Eng. degree is offered at the National Capital Region (NCR) and Virtual campuses.
The ECE Department offers both an M.S. Thesis and an M.S. Non-Thesis degree. For the M.S. Thesis degree, each plan of study is developed by the student in consultation with his or her faculty advisor satisfying the M.S. Thesis degree requirements and the defense of a thesis. The M.S. Non-Thesis degree is a coursework-based master’s degree. The M.Eng. degree is a professionally-oriented degrees that offers graduate students a strong academic foundation in core ECE technological areas with a culminating, project-based learning experience.
The Ph.D. is the highest academic degree awarded by the university and is conferred upon students who demonstrate outstanding original scholarship during advanced study. It signifies that the student can conduct independent research and has both a broad basic knowledge of all areas of the field and a comprehensive knowledge of one area. Students applying for the Ph.D. program typically have a master’s degree from an accredited college or university in EE, CPE, or a related field.
A direct-Ph.D. option is available for students without an earned master’s degree. These students will earn an M.S. Thesis, or an M.S. Non-Thesis, degree in addition to the Ph.D.
The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering's current enrollment is approximately 610 students. Out of the enrolled students, approximately 95% of our full-time Ph.D. students are funded and approximately 85% of our full-time master’s student are funded.
Most funding is available in one of three ways:
-
Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAs) – awarded by the ECE department;
-
Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs) – awarded by individual ECE faculty; or
-
Fellowships – awarded by the department to the top applicants to the program.
Of the fellowships awarded by the department, the Bradley Graduate Fellowship is the highest honor bestowed on ECE Ph.D. students and is restricted to U.S. citizens only.
