Qualification Requirements

Admission into the doctoral program will be granted to those applicants who have demonstrated superior achievement in their engineering backgrounds.

For admission to a graduate program, an international student must have an equivalent 4-year bachelor's degree with at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale on all previous coursework or a 3.30 on a 4.00 scale on all previous graduate work.
