Master of Science in Computer Engineering

The MS in Computer Engineering at UT Arlington requires 30 credit hours in either a thesis option (24 coursework credits plus six thesis credits) or a non-thesis option (30 coursework credits) aimed at professional development. The programme develops competency in identifying and solving complex engineering problems and in applying design principles to combined hardware and software systems, with experimentation, data analysis and interpretation. It is administered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. What the fee covers: the graduate non-resident (international) rate — tuition and mandatory fees combined — for a nine-month academic year, taken from UTA's official cost-of-attendance budget. Fee year: 2026-27. English requirement as published: TOEFL iBT at least 83 with no area score below 20; IELTS 6.5 in all areas is listed alongside it. Entry, and what to check before you budget: the catalog states a preferred overall undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher, with emphasis on a 3.2 GPA (4.0 scale) in the last two years, and a GRE verbal-plus-quantitative sum of at least 305 (quantitative 160+, verbal 145+). A lower GRE (minimum 300 total, quantitative 155+, verbal 145+) may be accepted with additional coursework. On the fee: the figure shown is UTA's university-wide cost-of-attendance planning average, not an engineering-specific bill. Engineering carries differential tuition, so use UTA's Tuition Estimator (https://webapp.uta.edu/tuition-estimator/) for a programme-specific quote. Living costs, insurance and books are extra; UTA's full graduate non-resident cost of attendance is $44,720. Before you rely on the deadlines: the dates shown are printed on this degree's own uta.edu page, but they sit inside UTA's standard deadline block, which says 'Most Master's applications have the following deadlines. Check the department website for any deadlines that may be specific to the degree you want to pursue.' They are university-standard dates reproduced on a degree page rather than dates the department itself sets, so confirm them with the department before you plan around them.
