Graduate Studies: Programs

 

Important notice! The application period for Fall 2008 admission is
September 1, 2007-January 15, 2008.


The School of EECS offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Engineering (MEng), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees with majors in the general fields of electrical and computer engineering.

The School of EECS offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Engineering (MEng), Master of Art in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). degrees in computer science.

Students are encouraged to develop programs in close cooperation with the faculty members in their areas of interest. The current areas of Faculty Research emphasis in EECS are listed on our research pages.

In Electrical and Computers Engineering, only the thesis option is availble for the M.S. degree. A non-thesis or project M.S. is no longer available in ECE. Instead students would choose the MEng degree (http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/graduate/ece/advising.html). In Computer Science, two options are available for the M.S. degree: thesis and project. (http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/graduate/cs/advising.html). A final oral exam is required for all degrees. The M.S. degree is normally completed in two years of full-time study or in four years for part-time study. M.S. students intending to continue for a Ph.D. are encouraged to pursue the thesis option.

The Ph.D. degree typically is completed three years subsequent to the completion of the M.S. degree. Students admitted into the Ph.D. program must pass a qualifying exam and must demonstrate a capability to undertake independent research in order to advance to candidacy as a full Ph.D. student.

Most EECS graduate students receive financial assistance in the form of fellowships, research assistantships, or teaching assistantships (see eecs.oregonstate.edu/graduate/ta_ra.html). Candidates are identified as part of the normal admissions process.

Graduate students interested in a minor in ecosystem informatics should refer to information at http://ecoinformatics.oregonstate.edu/curriculum.htm
