PhD in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering

This doctorate in electrical and computer engineering readies students for research careers or university teaching. Participants share the school's i2e outlook and work in well-equipped laboratories with faculty devoted to advanced research. Coursework includes core courses, an electrical and computer engineering elective, electives outside the discipline, flexible courses, free electives and seminars. An optional doctoral track in urban science is offered to interested students. Entering students are normally expected to hold an MS in electrical engineering, and admission is generally conditional on a strong 3.5 average across earlier bachelor's and master's study. Applicants are directed to the Tandon graduate admissions office. The NYU Bulletin page for this degree sets out the course list with credit values and a sample plan of study, so prospective students can see how the requirements fit together before they apply.
