Admission Requirements

Admission requirements for the Master of Engineering in Professional Practice program are listed below. Exceptions to standard admission requirements are considered by the MEPP admissions committee on an individual basis.

  • A BS degree from a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) or the equivalent*
  • A minimum of four years' post baccalaureate engineering experience
  • A minimum undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0 (where 4.0 = A) or the equivalent for the last 60 semester hours (Applicants with less than a 3.0 may be admitted at the discretion of the department.)
  • For applicants whose native language is not English, a minimum acceptable score of 580 on the written Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or 243 on computer version
  • For international applicants, degree comparable to an approved US bachelor's degree

We do not require applicants submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).

*Equivalency to an ABET accredited program: Applicants who do not have bachelor's degree from an ABET accredited program may also qualify for admission to the program. Such applicants must have a BS in science, technology, or a related field with sufficient coursework and professional experience to demonstrate proficiency in engineering practice. Registration as a professional engineer by examination, if achieved, should be documented to support your application.
