Graduate Studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Admissions | Recent PhD Students | Graduate Board Calendar

Welcome to the Graduate Academics page for the ECE Department. Graduate studies in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department is oriented toward the doctorate, with emphasis on scholarship and research rather than formal course work. In addition a Master of Science in Engineering degree program is offered. Although graduate students in the department have usually majored in electrical engineering or computer engineering as undergraduates, it is not uncommon to find graduate students in the program who have majored in mathematics, physics, computer science, or other fields closely related to electrical and computer engineering. A very comprehensive overview of the Graduate program and some of the research that is being undertaken currently is given by the Graduate Studies Brochure.

For more general graduate studies information, Engineering Advising has put together a comprehensive page which can be found here: Graduate Programs and Advising

You can now find an electronic version of the Graduate Student Handbook on the Graduate Studies website (PDF): http://grad.jhu.edu/academicInfo/policies.htm Click on "Homewood Graduate Student Handbook."

Current Students:

Check the Graduate Board Homepage for policies and deadlines you may find important.
You may also find the Graduate Advising Manual (PDF) useful as a guide to courses, etc.
And clearly a list of Course Descriptions is handy. Course schedules are combined for undergraduate and graduate and can be found under Semester Course Schedules on your upper left.
At some point you may be asked to fill out a Personal Information Form or a timesheet for hourly employees.
