Get a head start on your master's degree with UAH's Joint Undergraduate Master's Program (JUMP)!

ECE JUMP allows undergraduate students to take up to 9 hours of graduate-level courses, typically during their senior year. These courses then double-count toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. However, because they pay only once – at the undergraduate rate – they are able to save money and earn their graduate degree in less time. And there is no application fee.

Computer, Electrical, and Cybersecurity Engineering majors interested in applying to JUMP must meet the following criteria:

  • Have junior standing
  • Have a GPA of 3.50 or better

Students should consult with their JUMP advisor to ensure they are satisfying requirements for their degree.  

BSCPE to MSE in CPE JUMP

In addition to the UAH Official Rules for JUMP, the CPE JUMP requires the following:

  • Limit of 9 hours towards both the BSCPE and MSE in Computer Engineering
  • CPE JUMP students are not allowed to “JUMP” these required classes:

    • CPE 531: Introduction to Computer Architecture
    • CPE 534: Operating Systems

BSEE to MSE in EE JUMP

In addition to the UAH Official Rules for JUMP, the EE JUMP requires the following:

  • Limit of 9 hours towards both the BSEE and MSE in Electrical Engineering
  • Limit of the number of 500-level ECE classes to two (6 hours). The third JUMP class may either be a course from the math department (500 level or above) that will satisfy the undergraduate technical elective requirement, or a  600-level ECE course.
