USC Aiken to offer degree in electrical engineering starting in Fall 2026
AIKEN, S.C. (WJBF) – The University of South Carolina Aiken has announced it will add a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) beginning the Fall 2026 semester.
According to the school, the degree program will be focused on educating students to design, build, test and maintain electrical and electronic systems. The program was developed in response to local industry needs and aligns with the university's goal of supporting local economic growth and workforce development.
'Aiken and the CSRA have a great need for engineers,' says Scott McKay, Dean of the College of Sciences and Engineering. 'As a regional university, it is our job to support the economy and workforce development in those industries by meeting their demands for highly skilled engineers and scientists.'
The forthcoming BSEE joins degree programs in mechanical, process and software engineering already offered by the College of Sciences and Engineering. USC Aiken states students interested in the electrical engineering program but entering in Fall 2025 may complete a year of prerequisites that will meet the requirements of the BSEE.
