Graduate Degree Programs
The College of Engineering offers a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree program for students whose primary intent is a professional career in industry or government. This degree differs from the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in that it is a terminal degree and not a pathway to a doctoral program. The Major in Engineering for the M.Eng. degree requires the selection of an interdisciplinary concentration.
Admission
Students with bachelor's or master's degrees in engineering or related sciences will be considered for admission if they have a grade point average of at least 3.00 (A = 4.00) for the last two years of undergraduate study. Admission is possible for the spring semester, but most admissions are for the fall semester. Full details of admission requirements are on the Web page of the department offering the concentration. Currently a Concentration in Energy Systems is offered by the department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering.
All applicants whose native language is not English must submit a minimum TOEFL score of 103 (iBT), 257 (CBT), or 613 (PBT); or minimum International English Language Testing System (IELTS) academic exam scores of 7.0 overall and 6.0 in all subsections. Applicants may be exempt from the TOEFL if certain criteria are met. Full admission status is granted for those meeting the minimum requirements and having taken the TOEFL or IELTS since the scores required for admission to M.Eng. are above the minimum scores demonstrating an acceptable level of English language proficiency.
Degree Requirements
