MS in Electrical Engineering / MBA

The Dual Masters Program in Electrical Engineering and MBA is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport.

The Masters of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering is a course of study designed to increase the student’s knowledge and competence in basic areas necessary for Modern Electrical Engineering, while affording sufficient freedom to allow an in-depth study of such areas as Communications, Control Systems, Electronics and Digital Processing. Admission to the program requires an undergraduate background that includes elementary physics, a calculus sequence, linear algebra, communications and signal processing. The department may require students to take make–ups for background deficiencies.

The MBA is a course of study intended to prepare individuals whose undergraduate background is in business. The MBA Program requires 30 to 54 semester hours of study depending on the student's academic background and level of academic achievement. Students with a recent four-year bachelor's degree and good academic average from an accredited business college may be able to complete the program with 30 semester hours of advanced study. Students with a bachelor's degree in a nonbusiness field may require up to 24 credits of business core courses as foundation for the degree.
