Graduate Advising
Invested in Your Success
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and Software Engineering (SFWE) graduate students work with globally recognized faculty, conduct interdisciplinary research and pursue entrepreneurial opportunities in a department with annual external research expenditures exceeding $7.5 million.
For CSE, ECE and SFWE graduate program requirements, policies and procedures, see the appropriate pages on the U of A Graduate College website. Also available below are downloadable forms, worksheets and checklists, including the ECE Graduate Program Handbook.
