Admission Requirements
Department Requirements
Probation and Exclusion Policy
The department offers the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Engineer and Doctor of Philosophy.
The department also offers a combined BSCEN/MS degree program that allows qualified students to earn a bachelor's and a master's degree with a savings of a number of credits. Qualified students begin the master's program while seniors and double count 12 hours of specified electrical engineering graduate courses for both the bachelor's and master's degrees. The master's degree can be completed within two to three semesters after the completion of the bachelor's degree. Seniors admitted to a combined BSCEN/ MS program will be eligible for a teaching or research assistantship.
BSCEN/MS program admission requires satisfaction of Graduate School admission requirements, a junior-senior year GPA of at least 3.3, completion of seven of the required electrical engineering courses and two electrical engineering labs, senior status in the program and a minimum classification of 4EG.
Applicants should have an overall grade point average of 2.0 and a minimum combined grade point average of 2.5 in the pre-engineering technical courses, based on all attempts.
A minimum grade of C or higher is required in CIS 3020, EEL 3111, ENC 2210, and in any course transferred into the junior or senior year from another institution.
A grade point average of 2.0 or higher is required in all electrical and computer engineering courses. A grade of C or higher is required in any electrical engineering course that is a prerequisite for another electrical engineering course. The prerequisite course and its subsequent course cannot be taken during the same term, even if the prerequisite course is being repeated.
A student who is registered for an electrical engineering lecture section and its co-requisite lab who wants to drop the lecture section must also drop the lab section.
Any course taken to satisfy a degree requirement (required course or technical elective), with the exception of EEL 4948 and 4949, cannot be taken under the S-U grade option.
A maximum of three credits of seminar courses, such as EEL 4931, EEL 4939 and PHY 3036, will apply toward degree requirements.
Graduating seniors must complete an exit interview with their academic adviser before graduating.
The Undergraduate Counseling Guide, which provides more detailed information is located on the department home page at www.ece.ufl.edu/undergrad_info.
A computer engineering student whose grade point average falls below a 2.0, either junior-senior level or cumulative or who fails to make satisfactory progress will be placed on academic probation and required to submit a probation contract.
Students on academic probation will not be allowed to drop a course or withdraw from the university to avoid failing grades. Students on their second term of academic probation will not be allowed to advance register. Any student who fails to meet the second planned program will be suspended from the department and will not be given a third term of courtesy registration.
Students wishing to appeal exclusion must submit a letter to the Committee for Admission and Retention Appeals explaining why satisfactory progress has not been made and what circumstances have changed that indicate future improvement.
