A minimum 3.00 grade point average (GPA) in a completed undergraduate degree program
The following is in addition to the University's graduate admission requirements:
1. A student seeking admission into the program must have a bachelor's degree in engineering, physical sciences, computer
science or mathematics from an accredited institution, or, in the case of foreign students, from an institution recognized in
its own country as preparing students for further study at the graduate level.
2. An applicant must have achieved a B average, GPA of 3.0 in upper level undergraduate work.
3. Applicants who have not satisfied the above will be evaluated for probationary or waiver admission.
4. In addition to the above criteria, International graduate student applicants whose native language is not English are required
to submit a score for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or for the International English Language Testing
System (IELTS). A total score of 80 on the iBT TOEFL (equivalent to 550 on the paper-based version, or 213 on the
computer-based version of the Test of English as a Foreign Language) or 6.5 overall on the IELTS is required.
5. The GPA and TOEFL scores specified above are to be considered minimum requirements for admission. Applicants from
science areas other than mechanical engineering will be expected to complete remedial undergraduate courses selected
to prepare them for graduate courses in their area of interest. Full admission to the graduate program requires the
completion of these background courses with no grades below C and a grade point average of 3.0 or better.
