ECE Masters/PhD Program
Overview
The MS/PhD degree program at Cornell ECE prepares students to be future leaders in research, development, and teaching through rigorous course work and cutting-edge research. Our program is interdisciplinary, which enables a student to take advantage of the wide range of research opportunities on campus, from physics to bioscience, from mathematics to economics. Our program offers the flexibility that allows a student, in consultation with her or his Special Committee, to determine an individualized curriculum.
Virtually all MS/PhD students receive financial support in the form of Fellowships, Research Assistantships, and Teaching Assistantships throughout their PhD program. The financial aid covers tuition, stipend, and health insurance.
Applications are accepted for Fall admission.
Applicants should make sure that all forms and supporting documents, including college transcripts, test scores, and letters of recommendation, are submitted before January 1st. Students whose applications are received after this date may not be eligible for financial aid.
The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test is required for the MS/PhD program; submission of the GRE subject test results is optional. Applicants whose native language is not English must submit their Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score. Those who have studied for at least two years at a university in an English-speaking country, or who have received an undergraduate degree from such a university, are exempt from the TOEFL requirement.
Please complete an application through the Graduate School Admissions.

More Information
“I was hesitant to attend Cornell because it is my undergraduate alma mater, afraid that doing so would limit my experience, but after visiting several other schools I was most impressed with the energetic people and creative research going on in ECE at Cornell. The department strives to provide a positive environment for fledgling researchers to grow into skilled ones.”
- Sandra Jackson, ECE MS/PhD Student
