School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science

Shape the future of our world with hands-on experience and real-world innovation in the School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science.

Electrical engineering and computer science join to form UND's School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science department (SEECS). Our programs impact the future with innovation and technology. With five areas of study, students can work on combined degrees and a variety of graduate certificates in some of the most in-demand career fields. SEECS also houses the Mark & Claudia Thompson National Security Corridor—the newest hub for national security and space activities.

Programs Offered

Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. 

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) Accreditation Commission(s) of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Computer Science Criteria.

The last ABET accreditation visit was in November 2021 and the next visit will be in 2027.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to educate, inspire, and enhance the competitiveness of our graduates through integration of teaching and collaborative research focused on scientific innovation and discovery.
