## Electrical and Computer Engineering

**Bachelor of Science\
Integrated Master’s/Bachelor’s**

This Bachelor of Science program is designed with few constraints, to give you a full view of the profession. As an ECE student, you’ll be encouraged to explore multiple areas of the field, and multiple areas of theory and application. Ultimately, you’ll become an expert, an innovator, a leader and an ethical engineer who can solve problems with intelligence and integrity.

This Integrated Master’s/Bachelor’s program (IMB) allows you to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with typically just an extra semester or two of study. You’ll continue your education with opportunities to dive deeper into the topics that interest you most and explore a wider range of courses.
