A graduate degree from ECE at Minnesota opens doors to various career opportunities. Graduates have landed internships and full-time roles at industry leaders, including Nvidia, IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Google, Amazon, and Samsung. CEO Jim Anderson of Coherent, a global leader in materials and networking, for example, is an ECE at Minnesota graduate.
“Our PhD students’ tuition, stipend, and benefits are fully funded throughout their doctoral journey,” Professor Salapaka adds. “This is so they can focus entirely on becoming thought leaders who drive innovation as faculty at top research universities and as principal scientists and technical directors at respected organisations in the industry.”
