Applicants who have earned an undergraduate degree from a recognized institution may be admitted to the School of Science and Engineering if their academic records and personal attributes indicate the ability to pursue advanced study successfully. Applicants must present evidence, to the satisfaction of the department or the program committee concerned, of adequate preparation for the subjects in which they seek to specialize. All students must hold the undergraduate degree before enrolling. Only students with undergraduate averages of B or better, or with undergraduate study of otherwise certifiable equivalent quality, ordinarily are admitted. Students may be required to make up undergraduate course deficiencies before being admitted to a graduate degree program. Graduate credit will not be awarded for any courses taken to make up undergraduate course deficiencies. Prospective graduate students must take the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). International applicants must also demonstrate English proficiency, typically established through the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
