Undergraduate Programs

Top Pick for Students With a Tech Mindset

Earn your bachelor's degree on campus or online in one of the University of Arizona's well-integrated, innovation-driven programs: Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) or Software Engineering (SFWE).

Academics That Reflect a Changing World

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the boundaries between computer, electrical and software engineering are becoming increasingly blurred. In today's interconnected world, complex systems demand seamless integration between hardware and software. That's why undergraduates in the ECE department pursue degrees that emphasize real-world application, technical depth and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

All engineering students at the U of A gain a solid foundation in analytical thinking, problem solving and technology plus essential skills in ethical leadership, communication and teamwork.

Core classes are interactive and incorporate discussion, one-on-one help, hands-on activities and real-life team projects.

Outside the Classroom

An invaluable part of the ECE student experience takes place in student clubs such as IEEE and Wildcat Robotics on interdisciplinary research and design teams, and through participation in internships. The success of ECE students in these activities is a big part of what makes them work ready and highly employable.

Job-Ready Graduates

Nearly every industry in every sector has a place for engineers from our department programs (Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering and Software Engineering), and constant advancements in technology keep them in demand. U of A ECE graduates are working at companies such as Google, Amazon, Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, Motorola, Microsoft, GM, Agilent Technologies, NASA, Boeing, Pixar and Texas Instruments, as well as Arizona-based companies such as Raytheon, Wells Fargo, Northrop Grumman and Honeywell.
