Welcome to The Ohio State University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

ECE Graduate Academic Success:

There is a separate process to transfer credits; credit transfer is not automatic with admission. See ECE Handbook, Transfer of Graduate Credit for more specifics.

Incoming Master of Science students, complete an ECE check-in appointment within the first six weeks of enrollment. At the check-in submit your advisor-approved MS Plan of Study. More about the plan will be explained at orientation. 

Deadlines are based on the first letter of the last or family name: A-H: Due by the Second Friday J-R: Due by the Fourth Friday S-Z: Due by the Sixth Friday See Academic Calendar

To schedule your in-person ECE check-in with the MS Coordinator, you can either send an email to [email protected] or send a calendar invite from Outlook. 

Incoming PhD students do not need to check-in with ECE.

• PhD students who don’t do an internship sometime during their degree, are likely to make the same as a Master's student when they graduate.
