Admission Criteria
To be considered for admission, all applicants to the MS Advanced Technology program must possess a baccalaureate degree with a major in engineering, engineering technology, or a closely related field. Applicants from other fields will be considered on an individual basis and must complete appropriate prerequisite coursework OR demonstrate proficiency. Applicants must generally have an undergraduate average of B or better (a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale). The GRE General test is not required, but may be used when applicants do not meet the admission criteria.
Applicants not meeting the above admission criteria will be considered on an individual basis. Applicants with deficiencies in any area may be required to take appropriate prerequisite coursework beyond the 30 graduate credit hours required for the MS program. Required prerequisite coursework will be identified at the time of admission and will be built into the student’s plan of study.
