Academic Qualifications
Applicants may apply for admission to the MSECE or Ph.D. programs. Those applying to the Ph.D. program who have not previously earned an MS degree may earn the MSECE en route to the Ph.D. or proceed directly to the Ph.D. Note that applicants should apply for the final degree they anticipate earning, e.g., apply to the Ph.D. program if you graduated with a BSECE degree and plans to earn the MSECE and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Delaware. All applicants are expected to meet the following requirements:
- Applicants should have a BS in electrical or computer engineering, or a related field, such as math, physics, or computer science.
- Applicants are expected to have combined verbal and math GRE scores in excess of 1050, with a mathematics score in excess of 600. (International applicants with low verbal scores will be considered if the applicant's TOEFL score is acceptable and quantitative GRE score is high.)
- International applicants that have not graduated from a US institution must have minimum TOEFL scores of 550/213 (papers/computer examination) for admission and 600/250 for consideration as a Teaching Assistant (TA).
Note that all graduate applications are reviewed for financial aid as well as admission. Once admitted, students must maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA for all graduate work and make progress on all degree milestones to remain eligible for financial aid.
