General Requirements

To be eligible for admission as a graduate student, you must:

• Hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution involving a minimum of 4 years of full-time study
• Have achieved a cumulative average of “B” (GPA of 3.0/4.0) in your major

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.

If you wish to enter a graduate field of study different from the undergraduate field in which you earned your bachelor’s degree, you must anticipate the possibility of taking prerequisite courses for which graduate credit may not be given.
