Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3.25 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Regular admission to the M.S.E.E. program requires a 3.0 undergraduate grade-point-average (GPA). The verbal reasoning and quantitative reasoning portions of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required of all international applicants. The GRE may be required of any student whose GPA falls below this average, or is not a graduate of an ABET accredited undergraduate program in electrical engineering. If the student has an unacceptable undergraduate GPA, but has achieved a graduate GPA of 3.25 or better on a minimum of 15 semester hours of relevant graduate work (e.g., taken as an unclassified student, or at another university), then the student may be accepted into the program (note that units completed before admission may not all be transferable into a graduate degree program).
Graduates of international universities are required to take the TOEFL exam: A score of 550-600 on the paper-based exam, 78-80 on the internet-based exam or 213-250 on the computer-based exam is required.
Students not admitted on a regular basis may be admitted on a provisional basis depending on their over-all application file, including GPA, GRE, letters of recommendation, etc. Students admitted on a provisional basis are often required to take remedial courses (these are specified in the letter of acceptance). Registration for such remedial courses must commence with the first semester of a student\'s program with at least three credits completed per semester until all remedial requirements are satisfied.
Applications are reviewed on a continual basis, but need to be received by April 1 (fall admission) or October 1 (spring admission) for students who are applying for assistantships. It is recommended that international students apply at least 3 months prior to the start of the semester to allow time to request a visa. Limited fellowships and assistantships are available.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
