The electrical engineering degree offers course work in all traditional areas of the electrical engineering field. Focused areas of work are offered in the areas of communications, digital systems, discrete and integrated electronics, electromagnetics, energy systems and power electronics, robotics and system control. (Focus areas are not listed on transcripts or diplomas).

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers both the Bachelor of Science with a major in Electrical Engineering and the Bachelor of Science with a major in Computer Engineering. The undergraduate program in both degrees at the University of Missouri provides students with the requisite fundamentals in either disciple and prepares them for beginning practice in both the traditional and emerging fields of these disciplines. The degree programs are flexible 126-credit structures that provide the fundamentals of engineering, in addition to a thorough coverage of the major specialties within their respective fields. In addition, technical electives allow concentration in selected areas.
