Taking Undergraduate Classes in Graduate School

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm about to finish my bachelor's in electrical engineering a month. I'm considering going to graduate school in a few years or so (also in EE). The problem is that the school I attended only offers tracks for communication and power. I want to do electronics in graduate school. </p>

<p>From what I've read, this is similar to doing master's in a different engineering discipline (i.e. chemical engineering) from the one you did for bachelor's. You pretty much need to take undergraduate classes in order to fill in the weak spots for your master's degree. If I take undergraduate classes, does that still classify me as a graduate student except I finish much longer? </p>

<p>How does this usually work? </p>

<p>Please do not reply with messages such as 'why did you go to that school and take EE in the first place?'. I have my reasons and did not have any options at that time.</p>

<p>The answer to this very much varies by graduate school. I encourage you to contact the various grad schools and ask them directly about their policies. </p>

<p>I know from personal experience that some graduate schools allow taking a limited number of undergrad classes at the same institution, which will then count towards your graduate degree. If you stay within their guidelines, you will graduate on time.</p>
