Bachelor of Science in Electrical EngineeringMaster of Science in Electrical EngineeringDoctor of Philosophy in Electrical EngineeringDescription of Electrical Engineering Courses (EE)
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering120 credit hours are required to complete the Bachelor of Science degree program. Students may enter into a Bachelor's degree program with a minimum of 30 credit hours and one year of credit for documented life/work experience. It is preferable for the student to have completed 60 credit hours before entering into a degree program with Washington College & University, as the University does not generally offer lower division courses. Students who enroll with more than 120 units of acceptable transfer credit must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of coursework through the University to earn a Bachelor's degree. Students are expected to fulfill general studies requirements through prior educational experiences and through life/work experiences equivalent to college level courses. In the event an incoming student is lacking some of the general studies requirements, the Faculty Advisor and the student will work out a study plan that includes provisions for making up the deficiencies. To obtain a Bachelor of Science degree at Washington College & University a student must have completed 60 units of General Studies courses distributed in the following subject areas:
Completion of the Bachelor's degree requires attainment of a grade point average of C (2.0) or higher. Core RequirementsStudents are required to complete a minimum of 24 credit hours from the upper division courses. (Course numbers 300-399) Elective CoursesStudents may choose to complete the remaining credit hours from the upper division courses. (Course numbers 400-499)
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering30 credit hours of graduate level studies are required to complete a Master of Science degree program. A Bachelor's degree or equivalent is necessary for entrance into the Master's program. The Bachelor of Arts equivalency may be recognized if the student has the equivalent of four years of acceptable undergraduate college work through transcripts and extensive professional experience or more than four years of acceptable college work. A student may request credit for prior learning experience for up to 15 credits for post-baccalaureate work. Students must complete a minimum of 15 credit hours of coursework through the University. Completion of the Master's degree requires attainment of a grade point average of B (3.0) or higher. Students are required to submit a thesis or portfolio of competence, which is acceptable to the University. Up to 6 credit hours may be given for the thesis or portfolio of competence. Core RequirementsStudents are required to complete a minimum of 12 credit hours from the upper division courses. (Course numbers 400-499) Elective CoursesStudents may choose to complete the remaining credit hours from the upper division courses. (Course numbers 500-690)
Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering30 credit hours of graduate level studies are required to complete a Doctorate degree program. A Master's degree or equivalent is necessary for entrance into the Doctorate program. Prior learning credit hours may be accepted for the doctorate program if they are acquired after the Bachelor's degree was obtained. A total of 60 units of acceptable graduate level credit hours are required for the Doctorate degree. Students must complete a minimum of 16 credit hours of coursework through the University. Completion of the Doctorate degree requires attainment of a grade point average of B (3.0) or higher. Students are required to submit a dissertation or portfolio of competence, which is acceptable to the University. Up to 12 credit hours may be given for the dissertation or portfolio of competence. Core RequirementsStudents are required to complete a minimum of 16 credit hours from the upper division courses. (Course numbers 400-499) Elective CoursesStudents may choose to complete the remaining credit hours from the upper division courses. (Course numbers 500-690) Dissertation ProposalThe student will prepare an original research proposal for approval by the Faculty Advisor. The proposal must be approved before data collection and the writing of the dissertation. In the proposal, the student is expected to indicate clearly and concisely what is proposed, where information is to be obtained, and how the research is to be carried out. DissertationCandidates for the Ph.D. program must show ability for independent research and scholarly technique by means of a dissertation, the preparation of which will usually represent a substantial amount of research activity. The dissertation may also involve special projects, reviews of literature or applied fieldwork.
