Qualification Requirements
Candidates must satisfy the admissions requirements for and be admitted to each program separately, including submitting applications to both programs by their respective deadlines. All MS/MBA applicants must take the GMAT. Students should apply to both programs simultaneously. However, students admitted to only the ME or MET program may also apply for admission to the MBA program during their first year of study. Typically, MBA students admitted to the MBA program have on average four years post-undergraduate work experience. However, most joint MBA students do not have work experience and are admitted to the MBA program on an exception basis. Lacking work experience, these students must be superior in both leadership and academic preparation. While each applicant is evaluated on his or her own merits, MBA/MS applicants are expected to be above average academically, which is defined to be a minimum GMAT score of 680.
BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related program (Engineering, Physical or Mathematical Science)
Applicants must show evidence of a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited university in the United States of America or equivalent from a recognized international university. International applicants who received a degree from outside the U.S. must submit all official transcripts, diplomas, and marksheets to the International Education Research Foundation for a credential evaluation and request a Detail Report.
