Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

You need the following GPA score:

Required score: 3

Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 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).

  • General University requirements\xc2\xa0apply for all applicants.
  • For admission, a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with a 3.0 or higher overall grade point average is required. Applicants with an overall grade point average between 2.75 and 3.0 may be admitted if their grade point average in the last 60 units is at or above 3.0.
  • For admission with a baccalaureate degree other than Mechanical Engineering, applicants must have an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Qualified applicants without a baccalaureate degree in Mechanical Engineering will be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Additional preparatory coursework should be anticipated.
  • The GRE Standard test is\xc2\xa0required for all applicants to the M.S. program in Mechanical Engineering. A minimum 50th percentile score is required on the GRE Quantitative test to be eligible for admission consideration. The department may request additional supporting material to\xc2\xa0assess an applicant\xc2\x92s preparation and likelihood for academic success.
  • Approval by the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the department graduate coordinator.
  • Foreign students must submit a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based test) or 213 (computer-based test) to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language.
  • This admission requirement applies to applicants whose undergraduate (or other) institution does not report course grades in a letter format corresponding to a four-point numerical scale (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0) equivalent to the grading system used at CSUN. Those individuals are required to submit the results of a third party official transcript evaluation as the report of their official transcript. The Mechanical Engineering department only recognizes evaluations only organizations that are members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Service (NACES), which is an association of private educational credential evaluation services committed to formulating and maintaining ethical standards in the field of foreign educational evaluation. Visit the\xc2\xa0NACES\xc2\xa0home page\xc2\xa0to obtain a listing of member evaluation services. An example of an acceptable service would be the World Education Services (WES) ICAP report, which includes course-by-course evaluations.

    • English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
