Future Students
Thank you for your interest in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. We offer three academic programs: Electrical Engineering; Computer Engineering; and Computer Science. Each program provides degrees at the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels.
Undergraduate Programs
The goals of the three Bachelor of Science programs, computer engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering, are to prepare students for entry into the profession; to instill in students the capabilities required by the discipline, the recognition of the need to enhance the discipline, and the desire for life-long learning; and to equip students with a general knowledge of technical and non-technical disciplines so that they are prepared for further study in other fields including professional and graduate education. Beginning with the Fall 2008 semester the EECS department offers the following Majors, Minors, Concentrations, and Degrees:
| Major | Minor | Concentration (Minor only) | Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Engineering (CpE) | Honors CpE | BS in CpE | |
| Computer Science (CS) | Yes | Honors CS | BS in CS |
| Electrical Engineering (EE) | Honors EE | BS in EE |
