Application and Admission

Prerequisites for admission are the same as those for other graduate programs and include an accredited bachelor's degree in science or engineering and an overall grade-point average of at least 3.0/4.0 on all previous undergraduate and graduate work. Students who received their undergraduate degree outside the U.S. (or selected other countries) and have not attended a U.S. institution full time for one year must submit recent TOEFL scores of at least 213 or 550.

After a student is admitted to the Graduate School and enrolls for the first time, she/he is required to maintain continuous registration, i.e., to be enrolled each semester, excluding summer sessions, until graduation. A student in good academic standing who must interrupt his or her graduate program for good reasons may request a leave of absence from graduate study for a definite period of time, normally not to exceed one year. The request should be made at least one month prior to the term involved.

The Director of the Graduate Program serves as the student’s advisor prior to completion of one-half the credits required towards the degree. At that time the student should select a graduate advisor and together they should complete a Plan of Graduate Work showing all courses to be counted towards the degree. The Plan of Graduate Work must be signed by the student and approved by the advisor, the Director of the Graduate Program, and the Dean of the Graduate School.
