The part-time MS program, also known as the Honors Cooperative Program (HCP), enables qualified working professionals to pursue the MS in Electrical Engineering on a part-time basis. While this degree can be completed online, it depends on your program plan and area of focus. Most courses in the Electrical Engineering department are offered only on campus. Specific online course offerings depend heavily on your program plan, area of focus, and the course offerings for any given academic quarter. This program is offered in partnership with the Stanford Center for Global and Online Learning (CGOE), formerly known as Stanford Center for Professional Development (SCPD).
