Master degree after BE in ECE?

What are the general requirements for pursuing a master's degree, while possessing a bachelor's degree?

• I am just about to receive my bachelor's degree. My GPA is not too bad, but i didn't finish the degree in the traditional four years. I did it in six and a half, because i was also working in between and took a semester off at one point, and took other classes to make up for failed classes and for better grades. I also have a couple F's on the transcript and a few not so good grades, though they were all received from a P/NC Basis. Would I still be eligible to get into a master's program even though my undergraduate transcript is far from perfect ? I am really interested in a master's degree but am unsure if i qualify based on my undergrad performance. Is a master's degree even worth it?

• Answer:

  Some masters programs will accept GPAs down to 2.7, others have a hard cutoff at 3.0. It really depends on the field. Also consider whether or not a masters is likely to make you any more money than a bachelors. Not all masters make you more employable.
