A prospective graduate student who has already identified a particular area of study is encouraged to consult a faculty member of our Department whose area of specialization is peripheral to this field and discuss the different programs and options offered in this country. The areas of specialization of each faculty member of the EECS Department at Lehigh in the faculty list . The application process to join a graduate program in Electrical and Computer Engineering should be typically initiated at least one year before the matriculation date. Again, the application requirements vary considerably among Universities. Admissions are then awarded on a competitive basis, i.e. on the academic qualifications and performance of the candidate.
Financial assistance is also available to graduate students.
Financial help can also be provided in the form of fellowships from government organizations and foundations. At Lehigh, the EECS Department encourages junior and senior students to engage in research with one of its faculty members. This profitable experience helps the students to identify an area of interest which they may later pursue in the graduate school. Here at Lehigh, we offer an active and vital program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. We have excellent graduate programs in selected areas of research.
