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

Remember to submit the following with your application:

Academic transcript

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.

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.
