About the Program

Increase the impact of your time on campus with our integrated program in electrical engineering. Intended for highly motivated individuals, Case Western Reserve University’s program allows you to start on your graduate degree while still an undergraduate student. In just five years, you can earn both your bachelor’s and master’s in electrical engineering from the #1 engineering school in Ohio and among the best in the U.S.—and set yourself on the fast track toward an impressive career developing digital devices, software and systems that improve and affect everyday life.

What to Expect

Typically, Case Western Reserve undergraduate students apply to the integrated BS/MS program in spring of their junior year and, if accepted, determine up to nine credit hours of graduate-level courses that can count toward both degrees.

In addition to your undergraduate courses, you’ll work toward your master’s and complete either a research-oriented thesis or project track—whatever best suits your career interests and aspirations.

This “double counting” of credit hours means you’ll double the power of your tuition while gaining an advanced understanding of electrical engineering that will help you succeed on day one of your career, whether you enter industry or continue on in academia.

Bonus: Because you’re entering as an undergraduate student, you won’t need to take the GRE or other standardized test to be admitted to this graduate program.

“Being in this program has been a great talking point with employers. At my internship, they were very keen on the idea that I'll have a master's when I graduate.”

Beyond the Classroom

No matter what point you’re at in earning your electrical engineering degrees, you’ll have ample resources available to meet your needs and interests. 

Tinker and build in our seven-story, 50,000-square-foot innovation centers, Sears think[box]. Design and test circuits at a fully stocked workspace in the Sears Undergraduate Design Laboratory. Find your research niche in anything from robotics to nano systems, alongside renowned faculty and impressive students like yourself.

You can join one of our many engineering student groups, take part in design competitions, or even show off your creations at CES, the international electronics trade show where CWRU takes student startups each year.
