The admission process considers all of the application material including official transcripts, GRE and TOEFL or IELTS scores. No single objective factor is used to finalize the decision for admission or to deny admission. It is expected that an applicant have background in such areas as linear systems, dc and ac electronics circuits, static and dynamic electromagnetic fields, microprocessors, among the courses completed in a typical electrical engineering curriculum. Students with a BS in other fields are encouraged to apply, but they may be required to remedy a lack of required EE courses by taking some undergraduate EE courses. An attempt will be made to match the technical aspirations of the potential graduate students with the departmental resources in order to provide a stimulating academic environment for the students and their graduate education.
A typical MS applicant who is "admitted" will have met the following admission requirements.
   • The minimum undergraduate GPA requirement - For MSEE admission 3.25 (on a 4.0 scale) based on upper division coursework (junior and senior level or equivalent)
   • Relevance of the student’s undergraduate degree(background) to the EE curriculum.
   • Rigor of the student’s Bachelor’s degree.
   • Reputation of the University/College that the student received his/her previous degrees
   • GRE scores of at least the following:
   Quantitative score
   = 720 (new scale: 156) for M.S.
   or
   = 750 (new scale: 159) for Ph.D.
   Verbal score = 400 (new scale: 146)
   Analytical Writing = 3 for M.S.
For IELTS, we require a minimum score of 6.5.
TOEFL internet-based- 79 (with sectional scores of 22 writing, 21 speaking, 20 reading, or 16 listening)
Duolingo, we require a minimum score of 100.
