Admissions to the Spatial Computing graduate programs are competitive. In the admission process, the graduate faculty considers the potential of applicants to complete a program successfully and achieve a position of leadership in the private or public sectors. We generally seek an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or above. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis. All applications are reviewed holistically exceptional career or leadership experience may offset weak scores in some applicants. Students applying for the all-coursework graduate programs are NOT required to submit GRE scores. However, applicants pursuing a thesis based Master's or Phd are typically expected to submit GRE scores.

At a minimum an applicant must have a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, or a four-year international equivalent. The review committee considers both the curriculum completed and the institution attended in its assessment.
