Electrical and Computer Engineering

Students with an interest in both areas can pursue a dual BSE program in Electrical and Computer Engineering and thus can earn two BSE degrees at the same time:

  • BSE degree in Electrical Engineering
  • BSE degree in Computer Engineering

The dual degree program requires specified coursework that equals a minimum of 141 total credits.  

Dearborn Discovery Core (General Education)

All students must satisfy the University’s Dearborn Discovery Core requirements, in addition to the requirements for the major
