Students in the VCU's electrical, computer, mechanical and nuclear, chemical and life science, and biomedical engineering and computer science B.S. programs can apply to this M.S. program at the end of their junior year, if they have a minimum major GPA of 3.2 and minimum overall GPA of 3.0. These students are not required to complete the GRE-general exam and should be admitted to the M.S. program for the term immediately following their last semester of undergraduate study. For admission to the M.S. program, these students must:
Fulfill all requirements for the B.S. degree in an engineering, computer science or closely related field at VCU
Maintain a minimum major GPA of 3.2 and minimum overall GPA of 3.0
Complete a minimum of six credits of graduate course work in their senior year. Up to twelve credits of graduate course work which counted as technical electives toward requirements for the B.S. degree in electrical, computer, mechanical and nuclear, chemical and life science, and biomedical engineering and computer science B.S. can be counted toward the M.S. program.
