Colleges and what they awarded
Largest first by credentials conferred in 2024-25. That order measures the size of the graduating class and nothing else: it is not a ranking, and the largest entry is often a certificate provider rather than the strongest degree program. The credential is labelled on every row for exactly that reason.
| College | Credentials awarded | Highest level |
|---|---|---|
| Johns Hopkins University | 299 | Degree |
| University of Maryland-College Park | 163 | Degree |
| Morgan State University | 57 | Degree |
| United States Naval Academy | 23 | Degree |
| University of Maryland-Baltimore County | 9 | Degree |
| Carroll Community College | 6 | Degree |
| Capitol Technology University | 5 | Degree |
| College of Southern Maryland | 5 | Degree |
| Community College of Baltimore County | 4 | Degree |
| Anne Arundel Community College | 1 | Degree |

Ordered by median earnings four years after graduating: one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality. Federal program group: Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering. Earnings: graduates of 2017-18 and 2018-19, earnings measured in 2022 and 2023, in 2024 dollars. The one-year column is a later class (graduates of 2018-19 and 2019-20, measured in 2020 and 2021, in 2022 dollars), so it is not the same graduates' pay a few years earlier. Only programs with at least 30 graduates in the earnings cohort are listed. Median earnings of graduates who received federal student aid, worked, and were not enrolled in school; debt is the median federal loans borrowed at this college by graduates who borrowed (Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized and Grad PLUS; not Parent PLUS, private loans or interest). Programs with too few graduates are suppressed by the Department of Education. Earnings reflect who enrolls and where graduates live as well as the program itself.

How much of this field is in Maryland

- 11
Maryland colleges conferred 573 Electrical Engineering credentials in 2024-25, which is 2.2% of the 26,070 conferred across the 51 U.S. jurisdictions reporting any. Of the 11 colleges here, every one awarded a degree. These counts measure the size of graduating classes, not program quality, and not how many students are currently enrolled.
What level those credentials were
- Associate: 3%, 17 credentials.
- Bachelor's: 33%, 190 credentials.
- Graduate: 64%, 366 credentials.
Most Electrical Engineering credentials awarded in Maryland were graduate degrees. That is 24 percentage points less weighted toward bachelor's degrees than the field nationally, where they are 57% of credentials. A certificate is a different credential from a degree, not a lesser one, and the level a program awards is set by the program rather than by the student.
We measured how much this varies nationwide, and for most fields the credential level is set by the field rather than the state: is your major a certificate or a degree?
How concentrated it is. The single college with the largest reported graduating class in this field accounted for 52% of Maryland’s Electrical Engineering credentials. Most of the state’s activity in this field sits at one institution, which is worth knowing if it is not somewhere you can attend.
What these Maryland colleges cost
Median net price across the 7 of these 11 colleges that report it, by family income. Net price is what students receiving federal aid actually paid for the WHOLE college after grants and scholarships, so it is not the price of a Electrical Engineering program specifically, and not a quote for any family.

What this evidence does and does not prove
This lists colleges that reported conferring credentials in this field to the federal IPEDS completions collection, in both 2023-24 and 2024-25. It does not confirm that any of them is currently admitting students to the program, and a college can appear here after deciding to close it. Confirm with the institution before it affects where you apply.
How this list was built
From the U.S. Department of Education IPEDS completions collection, matched to each college on its exact federal program classification. A college appears only if it conferred credentials in both 2023-24 and 2024-25, which is what separates a running program from one that has already closed.
This page exists because its list of colleges is materially different from that of every closely related field in Maryland — the fields a reader could otherwise mistake it for, such as two engineering disciplines, or nursing and practical nursing. Where a related field resolves to the same colleges, the second page would be the first one with its title changed, and CampusPin does not publish it. Sharing colleges with an unrelated field is different, and not a reason to withhold the page: in most states the same colleges award business, psychology and biology alike, which says something about the colleges rather than about the fields. We measured exactly how often that happens, and published the result: does choosing a major narrow your college list?
What Electrical Engineering graduates go on to do
Occupations the federal CIP–SOC crosswalk associates with Electrical Engineering, ordered by projected annual openings. National figures: openings and pay do not vary by where you studied, and the crosswalk describes related fields rather than a required or guaranteed path.

|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural and Engineering Managers | $167,740 | 14,500 | Bachelor's degree |
| Electrical Engineers | $111,910 | 11,700 | Bachelor's degree |

Questions about Electrical Engineering in Maryland
- How many colleges in Maryland awarded Electrical Engineering credentials?
- 11 colleges in Maryland reported conferring Electrical Engineering credentials to the federal IPEDS completions collection in 2024-25, 11 of them a degree rather than only a certificate. Together they awarded 573 credentials in the fields covered.
- Which Electrical Engineering programs in Maryland have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among 2 Maryland bachelor's programs in Electrical Engineering with federal earnings data, University of Maryland, College Park graduates earn the highest median, $107,834 four years after graduating, with a median federal debt of $21,000. Morgan State University follows at $98,640. The national median for bachelor's graduates in the same program is $100,647. (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard.)
- Does this mean these colleges currently offer Electrical Engineering?
- Not necessarily. Completions record credentials already awarded, so they confirm a program ran and graduated students. They do not confirm it is still admitting. Every college here also awarded in the prior year, which makes a closed program less likely, but confirm directly with the institution before it affects where you apply.
- Is a college missing from this list?
- Possibly. A new program with no graduates yet does not appear, and CampusPin matches the federal classification exactly rather than guessing, so a college filing under a neighbouring code is absent. Absence is never evidence a program does not exist.
