Graduate Admissions

Tips for Getting Started

Admissions to the UA Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate program are handled online through the UA Graduate College.

Please see the ECE Graduate Handbook (PDF) for more detailed information about admissions processes and requirements.

Remember to submit the following with your application:

Academic transcript
Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, general test score. GRE Code is 4832. GRE results are not required for application to the MS program. Exceptions for the PhD program requirement may be made for applicants who have completed a BS or MS degree in ECE or a related field at a U.S. university.
Minimum 550 TOEFL score for international students. TOEFL/INST code is 4832.
Resume, including a list of any published papers.
A one-page summary of research interests and career objectives.
Three letters of recommendation. For master’s degree applications, letters are required only if seeking financial support or if the scores are marginal. For doctoral degree applications, at least one of the letters must be from faculty from the student’s master’s program. There is no specific letter of recommendation form, so recommenders may use their own format.
