Off-Campus Courses Held at Aberdeen Proving Ground
The University of Delaware’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) currently offers graduate courses at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). APG employees may enroll in individual credit courses, pursue a graduate certificate, or work toward a part-time M.S. or Ph.D. in ECE. The program follows a “step-up” model that enables the accumulation of credentials, with stackable certificates that can be applied toward the M.S. degree, which in turn may contribute to the Ph.D. program.
