Admission, Fees, and Financial Support
The MET program is a special interdisciplinary program within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. A dedicated admission committee examines applications for the MET program according to the objectives of the MET program. A different committee examines applications to the other ECE graduate programs. For this reason, admission into the MET program will not guarantee automatic transfer into any other degree program in this Department, before
or after registration.

Provided additional pre-requisite coursework is met (see below), students
may also be admitted from degrees in the following areas:
- Computer
Science
