Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

This program is STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)-designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, designed to instill in our students the technical expertise that employers told us they are looking for in their future hires.

STEM-designation also enables international graduates to remain in the United States for an additional 24 months after graduation to receive training through work experience.

We are proud to be a university that's continuously growing and making positive changes for our students and the community. Our achievements are a testament to our dedicated faculty and staff and the cutting-edge programs they develop; our talented students, who continue to be engaged members of the community; and our alumni, who consistently become leaders in their chosen fields.

In addition, our Tagliatela College of Engineering is rated among the top third in the country in our category in U.S. News' rankings of the best undergraduate engineering programs.

Our Pompea College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, placing it among the Top 6 Percent Worldwide. We are also a proud member of The New American Colleges and Universities (NAC&U), an exclusive national consortium of selective, small to mid-size (2,000-7,500 students) independent colleges and universities that are dedicated to the purposeful integration of liberal education, professional studies, and civic engagement.
