POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY
Westchester Campus
Fall 2007
MASTERS OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING
Polytechnic Institute of NYU will be offering its MS in EE with an Electric Power Engineering concentration at its Westchester Campus starting Fall 2007
Starting Fall 2007 and going forward we will be offering two to four courses per semester including required as well as elective courses to allow students to enroll in two courses per semester and graduate in two and a half years. All courses are in the evening. All courses lead to an MS in EE degree. All courses will be available at our Westchester campus and we expect that students will be able to complete their degree in Westchester.

Admission Requirements For The Master’s Degrees
Admission to the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Program requires a bachelor’s in electrical engineering from an accredited institution, with a superior undergraduate academic record. Students not meeting all these requirements will be considered for admission on an individual basis and may be admitted subject to the completion of appropriate undergraduate courses to remove deficiencies in preparation. Students who want to obtain a Polytechnic BS in Electrical Engineering must do that before beginning studies for a master’s. Applicants who lack a BS in Electrical Engineering but are otherwise sufficiently prepared for admission without undergraduate deficiencies may nevertheless be required to take specified undergraduate and introductory level graduate electrical engineering courses. Such graduate courses count toward the master’s degree.
