Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Students graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree must successfully complete 125 credit hours as follows:
- 44 hours of required electrical engineering courses
- 34 hours of required math and science courses
- 27 hours of technical electives
- 21 hours of humanities and social sciences
Of the 27 credit hours of technical electives, at least 12 credit hours must be taken as electrical engineering (ELEC) courses, which are referred to as “EE Technical Electives.” The remaining 15 credit hours of technical electives which are referred to as “EE or Other Technical Electives” may be taken from any 300 or 400 level course offering (with some exceptions) in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering or in any other
engineering department within the College of Engineering, or in the departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or Physics and Astronomy at UNL or UNO.
