3 Letters of Recommendation
Transcripts (in English) from all colleges and universities attended. All unofficial copies of transcripts and scores can be uploaded to your online application for S&T to review. Upon arrival on campus, you must request that an official copy of your transcript(s) to be sent to us directly from your previous university's registrar's office and all official scores reported directly from the respective testing agency. Once we receive the official documents, we will verify them. If there are any discrepancies between the unofficial documents you submitted, Missouri S&T will withdraw your admission and you will not be allowed to apply to S&T in the future.

Applicants who have received a degree from a United States university will also be exempt from providing English test scores. Students applying for a graduate degree program at S&T must meet one of the minimum scores:
TOEFL: 80, IELTS: 6.5
The graduate certificate programs offered by the ECE department are open to all persons holding a bachelor's degree in any field of engineering from an ABET-accredited undergraduate program, or a degree in a closely related technical field such as physics or mathematics. The minimum undergraduate GPA requirement varies by certificate.

Students who lack the prerequisite courses necessary to take graduate-level courses for the certificate program may be required to take foundational courses at either the undergraduate or graduate level prior to admission.

The nominal GPA requirement for admission to the M.S. degree program in this department is an undergraduate GPA of 3.3 on a 4.0 GPA system. In evaluating the academic performance from universities that may use other grading systems, the department may rely upon statistical data gathered in analyzing academic outcomes for recent graduate students to the extent that such statistical data is available. The department will not offer graduate admissions to students who do not have the equivalent of a four year baccalaureate degree in engineering. As an example, students who have only a diploma or engineering technology degree are not eligible for admission.

The ECE department requires ETS-reported GRE scores and recommends the following scores:

Q+V305, Q 155, A/WR 3.5
This GRE requirement may be waived if the applicant has an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 obtained from the courses offered by the electrical engineering or computer engineering program at Missouri S&T (must be minimum 18 credit hours).

For international students who are required to provide TOEFL scores, the ECE department has no preference as to the computer-based TOEFL (CBT), internet-based TOEFL (iBT), or paper-based TOEFL (PBT). The required score set by the campus is 80 (iBT) or equivalent. Where TOEFL is not available, an IELTS score of 6.5, a PTE score of 58, or a Duolingo score of 105 is strictly required.

Students applying for graduate studies in this department on the basis of degrees in closely related fields may have additional conditions placed on their admission. These conditions are generally imposed to make sure that students lacking a traditional Computer Engineering degree will have sufficient background to ensure a reasonable chance for academic success.

Students seeking admission to the Ph.D. program are expected to meet all of the above recommendations and have a graduate GPA of 3.5 or better. All Ph.D. applicants must provide at least three letters of recommendation. Exceptional applicants may apply directly to the Ph.D. program after completing the baccalaureate degree.
