Professional licensure and certification
ASU's academic programs that prepare you for professional licensure or certification are designed to meet Arizona's requirements. Completing an ASU program may not fulfill educational requirements for licensure or certification in other states. For additional information, visit the professional licensure webpage.
Will my diploma say ‘online’?
No, Arizona State University’s diplomas don’t specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Arizona State University.”
Online electrical engineering courses
In this online EE degree, you’ll complete a mix of foundational and advanced courses designed to build expertise in electrical and electronic systems, including circuits, signal processing, embedded systems and energy systems used in power systems, communications and advanced electronic technologies. Over four years, you’ll progress from core engineering principles to specialized topics, culminating in a two-semester, team-based capstone design project. Elective offerings include machine learning applied directly to hardware platforms — reinforcing the AI and embedded systems focus the program emphasizes.
Courses are delivered in a flexible online format, with 7.5-week sessions in your first two years. Upper-division courses follow a 15-week format, giving you more time to dive deeper into complex engineering concepts.
