Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

ECE Graduate Certificate Program Summary

The ECE Department offers a variety of graduate certificate programs based on regular graduate course offerings. Graduate Certificates generally require completion of four courses listed with the given Graduate Certificate. Admission requirements for the Certificate programs are the same as those for the Masters degree. Many of the Graduate Certificates are available on-line through Stevens WebCampus.

Students completing undergraduate or graduate degrees can use course counting towards a Graduate Certificate as courses within their regular degree program. Several undergraduates use their technical elective options to complete a Graduate Certificate, adding depth in a specific certificate topic to their Bachelor's degree.
