Electrical and Computer Engineering Program Overview
Electrical and Computer Engineering ranked #1 for Online Master’s in Electrical Engineering by U.S. News & World Report
Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals Electrical and Computer Engineering online, part-time master’s program is one of the largest in the country. And our highly regarded program is one of the best, ranked #1 by U.S. News & World Report.
We value the opportunity to create a hands-on experience. That’s why each student can remotely connect to equipment on campus to conduct measurements. We offer a wide breadth of courses to align with your area of expertise and interests, from computer engineering to satellite communications (instructed by a professor involved in NASA’s New Horizons Pluto mission) to systems and controls.
From a thorough grounding in foundational topics such as electromagnetics, electronic devices, and systems theory, to building the hardware and software architectures of next-generation mobile platforms, students gain valuable skills and knowledge and will be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to apply advanced electrical and computer engineering theory and methods to translate functional system descriptions into component-level designs and structures.
- Demonstrate the ability to design and conduct experiments or simulations, as well as analyze and interpret the results.
- Demonstrate proficiency in the use of advanced mathematical and analytical techniques and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

“I enjoyed the ability to take courses on my time. I selected an online program instead of an in-person program for the flexibility. My position and work would not allow me to leave during the day for courses, but the EP program allowed this. I found many of my instructors to be helpful and care about the students. ”

Electrical and Computer Engineering FAQs
All master’s programs provided by Engineering for Professionals must be completed within five years of acceptance into the program. Students may take one, two, or more classes a semester or consult with their advisor to schedule semesters off to match their schedules and needs.
On average, professionals with an electrical and computer engineering master’s make around $96k after completing their degrees.
No. If pursuing the master’s option, you will graduate with a single degree: a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The certificate programs also provide a single certificate. The curriculum is combined into a single program of study.
Applications are evaluated on a rolling admissions basis. We normally have a 4–6 week turnaround time once we have received every required piece of the application.
The Engineering for Professionals program was designed with working professionals in mind. Therefore, we offer both synchronous and asynchronous courses to accommodate your busy schedule.
“The availability of courses was awesome. There was always a course I wanted to take and if a course I wanted to take didn’t fit in my schedule I knew that I would have an opportunity to take it in the near future. I also liked all my instructors. They were all very knowledgeable and very helpful in answering questions whenever they arose. ”
