Successful candidates will be granted PWL bachelor’s degrees in electrical engineering and computer Engineering, respectively, offered by the PWL School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE). Successful candidates will also be granted a EUI degree accredited by the Egyptian Supreme Council of the University.
-Undergraduate Program Requirements
EUI students desiring a PWL Engineering program degree will:
- Finish a four-year journey at the EUI, with transfer credits towards PWL Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE)
- Apply to transfer to PWL through the PWL admission office during their fourth year at EUI.
- Tentatively accepted students at PWL will spend their fourth year at EUI but remain at EUI, taking a combination of EUI courses and PWL online/blended courses while studying at EUI.

- Only grades of C- or higher will be accepted for transfer to PWL.
- You must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher in every Blended course.
-Professional master’s Agreement in Information Security
-Purpose
This agreement allows EUI Computer Engineering students to obtain a professional master’s degree in information security (PMIS).
This dual degree program offers students the unique opportunity to register for PMIS degree courses as blended courses.
These courses will be considered for credit towards the student’s course of study at EUI for their bachelor's degree and at Purdue for their professional master’s degree in information security.
By participating in this program, students will receive a bachelor’s degree from EUI and a professional master's degree from Purdue if they fulfill the conditions.
This will provide them with a competitive edge in the job market and open up a world of opportunities in Cyber Security.
The blended courses offered in this program will allow students to seamlessly integrate their studies at EUI with their studies at Purdue.
This means they will not have to spend another two years at Purdue to complete their professional master's degree. Instead, they can complete their studies in a shorter amount of time and start their careers sooner.
