The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at SMU offers two doctoral programs, one in Electrical Engineering and one in Computer Engineering. These research-intensive programs allow students to work closely with faculty advisors on solving challenging problems. Our world-renowned faculty focus on both theoretical and applied research that can make a significant impact on society. Students in the doctoral program frequently publish their research in top publications in their fields.
Most doctoral students are funded as research assistants during their studies.
