Entry requirements

Graduate admission (applies to the programme): Before being admitted to the program, the student must have a satisfactory proficiency in basic and intermediate material in engineering mechanics and mathematics. Students entering without an undergraduate degree in engineering are usually required to do some remedial work at the undergraduate level.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate entry terms are summer and fall; each graduate program sets its own application deadline.

Graduate application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants; MBA (and dual programs with MBA) $200; MPA $125. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline. Fee waivers are available only to U.S. citizens/permanent residents applying for a first graduate degree (not MBA or MPA).
