Admission Requirements

Students entering the program usually will have an undergraduate degree from a recognized program in engineering.  Students with a non-engineering undergraduate degree, such as mathematics or the physical or life sciences, may need to complete a central core of undergraduate engineering study focused on their area of interest.

Students wishing to be admitted to the program must satisfy the minimum requirements of the Graduate School and the College of Engineering and Architecture.  For admission to the M.S. program, the Graduate School requires:

•  a minimum grade point average of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) 
• International applicants are also required to have the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree (normally a minimum of four year of study beyond grade 12), demonstrated proficiency in English (minimum TOEFL of 550 paper or 213 computer or equivalent), and have evidence of financial support.

Program Description

These interdisciplinary programs  are administered through the College of Engineering and Architecture’s Office of the Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Programs, with students typically advised and funded through one of several departments in the College.  The interdisciplinary nature of these degrees provides considerable flexibility in designing programs of study tailored to the specialized needs of each student.

Areas of specialization include (but are not limited to):

 biological systems engineering,

atmospheric research,

materials science and engineering,

and bioengineering. 

These students often work in one of our interdisciplinary centers such as: Bioengineering Research Center (BRC), Center for Environmental, Sediment, and Aquatic Research (CESAR), Center for Environmental Education and Outreach (CEREO), Center for Materials Research (CMR), Engineering Education Research Center (EERC), Laboratory for Atmospheric Research (LAR), and the Wood Materials Research Lab (WMEL). 

Thesis and non-theses options are available in the M.S. degree program.
