Special Admission Requirements

Master of Engineering

Admission preference to the master's program is given to those individuals who hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution, and who have accumulated an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 out of a possible 4.0.

In special circumstances, individuals having a lower GPA or with degrees in other disciplines or branches of engineering may be provisionally admitted. In such cases, entrants may be asked to satisfactorily complete one or two undergraduate preparatory courses and maintain a GPA of 3.00 in the first semester of residence. These preparatory courses will not contribute credits toward the degree requirements.

Doctor of Philosophy

Admission to the Ph.D. program is accorded those applicants holding a degree in electrical engineering from a nationally or regionally accredited institution and possessing a GPA at least 3.0 out of a possible 4.0. Admission will also be granted to those applicants with equivalent qualifications from foreign institutions.
