The EECS Graduate Handbook provides EECS graduate students with additional information about our graduate program that is not described in the official University of Kansas graduate catalog. Topics included are:
At the University of Kansas, our graduate programs focus on advancing the state of knowledge through research, and educating the next generation of students to become researchers in these fields. Many of our graduate students participate in funded research projects within the EECS department, the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center (ITTC), and the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS). See the EECS website http://www.eecs.ku.edu , the ITTC website http://www.ittc.ku.edu , and the CReSIS website http://www.cresis.ku.edu for news and detailed descriptions of our research activities.
The department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) offers four graduate degree options designed to meet the educational objectives of students preparing for research or development careers in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Technology (Edwards Campus).
Our doctoral degrees, Ph.D. and D.E., enable students to acquire more extensive breadth and depth through additional course work and by completing a dissertation (Ph.D.) or project (D.E.) in their chosen field of excellence. The University of Kansas EECS department offers Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Computer Science and a D.E. degree in Electrical Engineering. Specific degree requirements for each of these degrees are listed in the University of Kansas Graduate Catalog
The Masters of Science degree provides students an opportunity to obtain breadth of knowledge through graduate course work and specialization skills by conducting research leading to an M.S. degree (thesis or nonthesis options). The University of Kansas EECS department offers Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Technology.
The department currently has the following areas of focus for both Ph.D. and Masters degrees:
Plans of study in other areas can be constructed, in conjunction with a faculty advisor, to fit individual student needs.
Additionally, the EECS department offers a Master's of Science degree in Information Technology at the Edwards Campus in Kansas City. This degree and the courses offered together with the times the classes are taught are customized for working professionals in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
If questions arise that are not answered by this handbook or the graduate catalog, please contact your EECS faculty advisor, the staff in the graduate office, or the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies.
