Preparation
If your goal is to achieve a fulfilling career, building the groundwork will take some care. While in school, keep your options as wide as possible -- the further you go, the narrower your focus must become. While the decision to major and minor is an important step, your decision should not be limited to an engineering curriculum or even to the classroom.

Accredited Programs
Those interested in a career in electrical engineering should consider reviewing engineering programs that are accredited by ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university is regionally accredited. The following is a current list of all universities offering accredited degree programs in electrical engineering. You may also download a PDF of this list.
