For students who want to expand their technical expertise, the Syracuse University's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) offers master of science (M.S.) degrees in electrical engineering. The master’s program in electrical engineering emphasizes mastery of the field of knowledge and some familiarity with allied areas. It is tailored to meet the needs of the individual with certain general restrictions set by the faculty.

Electrical engineering is based on scientific principles governing the motion of charged particles through conductors, semiconductors, or even a vacuum. These phenomena can be harnessed in a variety of applications such as wireless, optical or satellite communications, control of robots, radio and television broadcasting, development of microelectronics for computers and analog circuits, and development of instruments that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Every student in the College of Engineering and Computer Science receives personalized attention from our world class faculty, staff and career advisors while also having access to the state of the art labs, resources and facilities available at a leading research institution.
