Admissions Requirements

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. The B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or the equivalent, with a quality point average of at least 3.0/4.0, is normally required for admission to all programs. Prospective students may apply for either the M.S. or the Ph.D. program. Students with B.S. degree (i.e., without a M.S. degree) can apply for Ph.D. program directly or may choose to first obtain M.S. degree and then enter the Ph.D. program. Students who complete M.S. program and wish to continue for Ph.D. must re-apply for admission to the Ph.D. program.
