Locations

KU's Lawrence campus is considered one of the most beautiful in the nation. EECS students attend core classes and state-of-the-art laboratories in Eaton or Learned Hall. Two interdisciplinary research centers, including a NSF Science and Technology Center, on the University's West Campus support EECS research and development. The Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program at the Edwards Campus is designed specifically for working IT professionals who seek a master's degree without having to leave the workforce. With the exception of MSIT, all degree programs are housed at the Lawrence campus.
