Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Wichita State's MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering requires a total of 30 credit hours of graduate work under any of three options: thesis (24 coursework hours plus at least 6 thesis credits), project (27 coursework hours plus at least 3 project credits), or coursework only (30 hours, including at least 9 hours at the 800 level). At most 6 hours may be below the 700 level. Students major in one of four areas: communication and signal processing, computer systems, control systems, or power systems. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or a related field with a GPA of at least 3.000, and international applicants must submit GRE scores although no minimum is set. What the fee covers: the graduate non-resident (international) rate of $903.59 per credit hour, effective Fall 2026, over 18 credit hours in an academic year — the load Wichita State's own international cost page uses. Tuition only; mandatory fees are extra. Fee year: 2026-27 (the fee schedule is dated 'Effective 2026 Fall Term'). English requirement as published: TOEFL iBT 79, or IELTS 6.5. Before you budget: the 3.000 GPA minimum is on a US 4.0 scale, so have your transcript formally evaluated rather than assuming a direct CGPA equivalence. Add fees to the figure shown: WSU's international graduate cost page quotes an all-in tuition-and-fees figure of $20,100 for a nine-month year (18 credit hours) and $26,500 for a 12-month year (24 hours). That page does not state which academic year it covers, which is why the dated per-credit schedule is used here. Engineering colleges may charge additional course or college fees. Where the intake comes from: the Graduate School's per-programme admission-terms table (https://www.wichita.edu/admissions/graduate/deadlines.php) names this degree and gives it 'All terms', so this is degree-level evidence rather than a university-wide statement. The same page adds: 'Due to the lack of entry-level coursework offered during the summer semesters, the Graduate School may automatically defer summer applicants to the next fall semester.' In practice, international entry is Fall and Spring.
