Welcome to the ECE Graduate Program!

Welcome to the Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. We are a large and diverse community of students, faculty, and staff representing many technical areas within nine major research divisions. The pursuit of a graduate degree requires a special commitment from both the student and their academic program. We provide the support and service our students need to succeed in our highly-ranked department. Please take advantage of the information we have provided on these web pages, but if you cannot find the information you information need, please feel free to contact our ECE Graduate Office staff.
