MS IN ENGINEERING ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
A bachelor of science degree in engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or computer science is required for admission to the MS (ENGR) program. Students may also be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses; such courses are not considered part of the 45 credit hour requirement for the degree. Students whose undergraduate degree is not in engineering are not eligible for a Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) upon entry.
All students must have completed at least the following minimum course requirements:
- One year of college level physics of a level that leads to further study in physics
- A minor in mathematics, which must include a year of calculus and a course in differential equations
- Be competent in computer programming
Depending upon the student's area of interest and focus, other prerequisite courses that may not apply to the 45 credit hour requirement may also be required. These are determined by the student's declared interest and previous background. The declared interest is therefore an essential part of the graduate application. Students may be admitted provisionally while they take the appropriate prerequisite courses.
