Pursue Your Graduate Degree at Colorado State

Expand your knowledge and further your education at Colorado State University. Known for our cutting-edge research programs and internationally recognized faculty, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department has one of the best and largest graduate programs on campus.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, continuing education is important for electrical and computer engineers. Engineers who fail to keep up with the rapid changes in technology risk becoming more susceptible to layoffs or, at a minimum, more likely to be passed over for advancement.

"I have enjoyed my experience as a graduate student at Colorado State because of the personal attention I have received from the ECE faculty and my advisor. It has also been a privilege and a wonderful opportunity to experiment with state-of-the-art technology and equipment available in the ECE laboratories."

Also available to graduate students for use in education and research are the extensive facilities of our NSF-sponsored Engineering Research Centers. One research center addresses extreme ultraviolet optics, an area that is critical for the production of future generations of computer chips. The second center, an interdisciplinary effort with the Department of Atmospheric Science, focuses on improved methods for detecting and predicting dangerous weather using networks of radars.
