Types of Master's in Electrical Engineering

UND offers both Electrical Engineering Master of Science (M.S.E.E.) and Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees. It is recommended you connect with the Department of Electrical Engineering before making a final decision. However, in general, a M.Eng. program is more course-based, while the more popular M.S. program includes a thesis or research project/independent study.
