For admission to the Graduate School, an applicant must hold either (1) a bachelor\'s degree from a U.S. regionally accredited institution or (2) a postsecondary degree that is equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree earned from an officially recognized degree-granting international institution. Graduates in engineering, the sciences, mathematics, engineering science, and materials who present a 3.00 grade-point average, will be considered for admission. Exceptions to the minimum 3.00 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests. Applicants will be accepted up to the number of places available for new students.

Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission. At the discretion of the Graduate Officer, a student may be granted provisional admission pending receipt of acceptable GRE scores.

International applicants must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). The minimum composite score for the IELTS is 6.5. The minimum score accepted for the paper-based TOEFL is 550; 80 (total) for the internet-based test (iBT), with a 19 on the speaking section. Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisional admission, which requires an institutional test of English proficiency and, if necessary, remedial course work.

International applicants who have received a baccalaureate or a graduate degree from a college/university/institution in the following countries are exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS requirement: Australia, Belize, British Caribbean and British West Indies, Canada (except Quebec), England, Guyana, Republic of Ireland, Liberia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the United States, and Wales.
