Applicants must fulfill the requirements of both the Graduate College and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Applicants are eligible to apply to the program if they have earned a bachelor's or master's degree in an engineering or a science discipline such as physics, mathematics or computer science from an accredited institution.
Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (scale is 4.00 = "A") in the last 60 hours of their first bachelor's degree program, or a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (scale is 4.00 = "A") in an applicable master's degree program.
Applicants are required to submit:
- graduate admission application and application fee
- official transcripts
- statement of purpose
- proof of English proficiency
Additional Application Information
An applicant whose native language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency regardless of their current residency.
International students who need an F1 or J1 visa first need to apply to and be accepted into a graduate degree program prior to being considered for the certificate program. International students residing in the USA on other types of visas must adhere to all Graduate College policies and procedures regarding admission to be considered for admission to this certificate program.
Regular admission is granted to applicants who have at least a GPA of 3.00 or equivalent (scale is 4.00 = "A") and are competitive in the applicant pool. All prerequisites to the sensor signal and information processing certificate required courses must be in place (EEE 203 and EEE 350 from ASU, or signals and systems and random signals course equivalents from other universities).
Program learning outcomes identify what a student will learn or be able to do upon completion of their program. This program has the following program outcomes:
- Master the key concepts in the sensor and signal processing engineering fields at an advanced level.
- Master the key concepts in the signal processing and communication engineering field at an advanced level.
The certificate is a professional graduate program. The area of sensor information extraction and interpretation has various professional applications including in health, sustainability, media, communications and security.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
