  • A Bachelor of Science degree from a four-year undergraduate program in engineering or closely-related field. For students graduating from a program in the United States (U.S.) the program must be accredited by ABET. Needed with an application are official, original academic transcripts and degree certificates from all secondary schools or universities previously attended.
  • U.S. students must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in all undergraduate coursework. Additional evidence can be presented in the form of high scores on the GRE test, through this test is not required.
  • International students must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) that is equivalent to at least 3.0, when linearly scaled on a 0.0 - 4.0 scale, in all undergraduate coursework. They must also submit GRE scores, which must be satisfactory, independently of their cumulative undergraduate GPA.
  • International students must also show evidence of proficiency in the English language. GVSU recognizes the following English proficiency tests;
  • Three confidential letters of recommendation from informed sources such as current and/or former professors and supervisors. These letters should address the applicant\xc2\x92s academic skills, analytical and problem solving abilities, professionalism, maturity, integrity, and potential for success in graduate studies.
  • One to two page essay detailing an applicant\xc2\x92s career plans and academic goals. International applicants are requested to add a one to two page essay on the following topic: \xc2\x93What will I do to bring cultural and international perspectives to Grand Valley that will enhance the learning environment for the entire GVSU community?\xc2\x94
Candidates should have a base of underlying knowledge relevant to graduate study in the chosen area. This can be demonstrated by previous academic records or relevant work experience. Consultation with the Graduate Program Director may be necessary to verify the appropriateness of work experience as a substitute for academic preparation.Once admitted to the M.S.E. program, students are expected to demonstrate initiative and teamwork, and to devote sufficient time to complete the work assigned in each course.
