To be eligible for admission as a graduate student, an applicant must hold a Bachelor's Degree from an accredited institution involving a minimum of FOUR YEARS of full-time study with a cumulative average of "B" in the major field. Attention will be given to the listing of schools by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB), and by the various regional accrediting associations. An applicant wishing to enter a graduate field of study different from the undergraduate field in which a Bachelor's degree was earned must anticipate the possibility of taking prerequisite courses for which graduate credit may not be given.

Be sure to research Poly's programs, visit the campus, and find a way to talk with our faculty. We encourage students to consider all the educational options available to them at the University. It is important to note that some students may begin to take classes at the graduate level BEFORE enrolling in a degree program. We offer this option as a convenience to students who wish to begin their studies immediately.
