If you qualify for this waiver, please contact Jeffrey Reinbolt to obtain a code.
In mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering, entrance into the Master of Science program is available to qualified graduates of recognized undergraduate curricula in mechanical or aerospace engineering and to qualified graduates of other curricula who satisfy the necessary prerequisites. Admission into the doctoral program will be granted to those applicants who have demonstrated superior achievement in their engineering backgrounds. The names and addresses of three references must be included with the program application.
In biomedical engineering, entrance into the graduate program is available to graduates of recognized curricula in engineering, mathematics, or one of the physical sciences who satisfy the necessary prerequisites.
