Computer Engineering

You can complete these two degrees in just five years. After completing 75 undergraduate semester hours of coursework and prior to attaining senior status, you may apply to the master’s portion of this dual-degree program (typically in your junior year).

In our program, you’ll build upon your foundation in mathematics, physics and computer engineering—and you’ll learn some new skills along the way. You’ll learn to work at both the microscopic level and on a system-wide scale to understand the inner workings of a computer as you research, design, develop and test computer systems and components—such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, networks and routers.

You’ll come away from our program with the knowledge and expertise needed to thrive in a highly competitive, technical workforce—and tackle current issues in the industry.

You must be admitted to Case Western Reserve University’s undergraduate computer engineering program. When you’ve completed 75 credit hours of undergraduate coursework, you may apply to the master’s portion of your degree. Normally, this means you will submit your application in the sixth semester of the BS program (usually the spring term of the junior year).

Application requirements typically include:

• Successful admittance to CWRU as an undergraduate
• Completion of three years of a computer engineering major
• Completed online application
• Statement of objectives
• Resume/CV
• Unofficial transcripts
• Three letters of recommendation
• $50 non-refundable application fee
• Test Scores: TOEFL for international students (Institution code = 1105; department code = 0203). You only need to send these official documents if you are accepted; otherwise, you can upload the unofficial scores online during the application process.
