Fast Track Electrical and Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering Program
This program offers students an opportunity to meet the full requirements of the existing programs of BS in ECE and MS in EE in a shorter time period than the separate degree programs by completing a B.S. degree in Electrical and Computing Engineering within four years and then completing an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in their fifth year. In addition, and starting in Fall semester 2010, qualifying students will compete for one of ten generous financial incentives during the fifth year. Until 2010, students will still be able to graduate with two degrees in five years, even though financial incentives are not yet available. Please contact our department for additional info or clarification by phone (816) 235-1193 or by e-mail csee@umkc.edu.
Admission Requirements
Students must meet the following entrance requirements:
- High School GPA of 3.50 GPA (out of 4.00).
- ACT Math of 28 or higher.
- No single grade below C (2.00) in any coursework in STEM (Science, Technical, Engineering or Mathematics) fields from another college.
- Cumulative GPA of 3.00 in any previous college credit.
- Must start at UMKC/CSEE within one year of High School graduation.
Students are expected to follow the recommended curriculum (although deviations are possible) and must maintain:
- UMKC cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher, and
- A minimal course grade of 2.00 or higher for every course attempted in the CSEE department.
Students are admitted into the graduate program in the spring semester of their fourth year. Upon successful completion of the first four years, the students will compete (together with the students in the fast track program for the CS degree in this department) for one of ten financial incentives, in the form of a fee reimbursement,a graduate assitantship or graduate teaching assistantship. Assistantships includes a fee waiver for three residential credit hours. The incentive is renewable for the second semester of the fifth year only if they complete at least nine credit hours during their first semester with at least a 3.50 GPA. (Should a student be offered a graduate research assistantship (GRA) with a faculty member of this department in either of the two semesters of their fifth year, then the Department withdraws the finacial offer for that semester.)
