Maryland: The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering meets the educational prerequisites for a student to sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering Exam in Maryland. Maryland has additional work experience requirements. View the full list of prerequisites in Maryland.

Materials Cost

As an engineering student, you will be participating in project-based, at-home learning lab exercises which require you to purchase additional course materials that range from $4,700 to $8,000 over the duration of the program (average cost is $6,000). These materials are not covered by the university undergraduate book grant and costs are subject to change.

You can view the materials required for individual courses in the ecampus under your Academic Plan.

Technology Fees

The technology fee for engineering courses (ENGR and ELEN) is $100/course. Estimated total technology fees for this program are $2,950, depending on the concentration you choose.

Note: The technology fee is waived for U.S. active-duty military, National Guard members, and Reservists.

Quality Education Should Be Affordable

So you can focus on the opportunities ahead, without the financial burden of more expensive schools who are not as invested in your success.  Learn more about paying for school.

1Alumni Graduated with No APUS-incurred Student Loan Debt

As of May 1, 2019. Includes alumni who graduated with an associate, bachelor's, or master's degree from APUS. Student loan debt is defined as student loans and private education loans used for tuition, fees, living expenses, and book costs associated with courses taken at APUS.

2Cost Per Credit Hour

To minimize out-of-pocket costs, active-duty servicemembers, their spouse/dependents, National Guard members, and Reservists receive a tuition grant that caps undergraduate, master's degree, and graduate certificate tuition at $250/credit hour. In addition, a university book grant provides no-cost textbooks and ebooks for all undergraduates and military-tuition-grant-eligible master’s-level students.
