Electrical and Computer Engineering is a research-centered department that understands the industry demands for a broad skill set and innovative research and design. Courses are not strictly textbook based. Faculty in the department know the subjects taught and research intimately and are deeply involved. They often craft their courses to reflect the latest available knowledge and techniques, which ensures students are adequately equipped to face a changing field.
We offer a comprehensive and flexible Master of Science in Engineering (MSE), Electrical and Computer Engineering degree program that includes courses from several areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In addition, we offer the following specialized MSE focus areas:
- Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
- Human Language Technology (concentration)
- Photonics and Optoelectronics
- Computer Engineering and Microelectronics
- Image Processing and Analysis
- Control and Energy Systems
Program Requirements
All-Course Option
Students completing an “all-course” degree will successfully complete a coordinated sequence of 10 courses totaling 30 credits or more. A master’s essay or thesis is not required for this degree, which typically requires three to four semesters of study.
Both options provide students with an intensive exposure to advanced topics in electrical and computer engineering and strengthens understanding of engineering fundamentals. The degree typically requires three to four semesters of study.
Research Option
Students complete a coordinated sequence of 8 courses and graduate research, and submit a master’s essay (sometimes known as a “thesis”). These total 30 credits or more. To learn more about the MSE Essay option, please speak to your advisor or email Malik Johnson.
We also have a concentration called the Human Language Technology Master’s-Level.
Regardless of which option you choose, an advanced degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University will significantly enhance your career possibilities. Our graduates are always in high demand. The requirements for the MSE degree can be found in the online university catalog.
