Admissions

Students can be admitted to the program either Fall or Spring term. Application deadline for Fall Term is July 15th, Spring Term deadline is January 15th.  The area director of your chosen area will be your faculty advisor.  Please contact the area director with questions about the technical content and pre-requisites needed.

Our admission criteria are based on undergraduate GPA in an ABET accredited science or engineering program together with other evidence of your ability to succeed in highly technical graduate courses.  This includes factors such as work experience in the chosen area of study, and graduate courses completed with good grades in the chosen area of study. 

You may take our on-line courses through University Extension (UNEX), even if you are not in the degree program.  Up to two UNEX courses can be transferred into the degree program if you later decide to apply and are admitted to the degree program. Please see the UNEX tab for more information about enrolling.
