Degree Requirements

The GT non-thesis MS degree in ECE requires 30 credit hours; the degree requirements are posted at http://www.ece.gatech.edu/academics/graduate/msreq.html

Courses outside of ECE will be taught at GT-Shenzhen as well, so that the students can meet the “Minor” component of the degree requirements. Non-ECE courses may be taught in Shenzhen from the following disciplines: Industrial and Systems Engineering, Computing, and Mathematics.
