Demonstrate you can master the work to gain admission.

Simply prove that you can do the work by completing a series of 3-5 courses called a “Pathway Specialization'' with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher to gain admission. Since your pathway courses are a required part of the curriculum, you'll already have finished 10% of your graduate coursework.
No need to worry about transcripts, letters of recommendation, GRE, or TOEFL scores. You can choose one of five pathway specializations to get started: power electronics, embedding sensors, and motors, FPGA design for embedded systems, optical engineering, or semiconductor devices.
Alternatively, you can start in the non-credit version of the pathway specialization courses below. This will allow you to test your abilities and practice the skills required to pass the course and all assessments once you upgrade to the for-credit version.

Not sure if you’re ready? Here’s what you’ll need. There are no prerequisites.

We highly recommend that you have a work background or an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering. Read about the specific recommendations for each course.
