Admission Requirements

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university¹
• Minimum 2.750 undergraduate GPA on a 4.000-point scale¹
• Official transcript(s)
• Goal statement (one page) describing applicant's background, interests, and goals, and how this program will help to achieve those goals
• Three letters of recommendation²
• English language proficiency - all international students must provide proof of English language proficiency (unless they meet specific exceptions) by earning one of the following:
  • Minimum 550 TOEFL PBT score
  • Minimum 79 TOEFL IBT score
  • Minimum 77 MELAB score
  • Minimum 6.5 IELTS score
  • Minimum 58 PTE score
  • Minimum 100 Duolingo English score

An admissions committee of the College of Aeronautics and Engineering graduate faculty review all applications. Admission will be considered by examination of the applicant’s background on an individual basis. Applicants with deficiencies may be admitted conditionally, which may include a requirement for completion of appropriate undergraduate coursework that will not count toward the master’s degree.

¹

Applicants with an undergraduate degree in an approved science or technology related discipline and who have a minimum composite undergraduate 2.750 GPA will be admitted unconditionally. In exceptional cases, an applicant without a technical degree or with a composite GPA below 2.750 may be admitted conditionally  based on strong letters of recommendation or significant experience related to the intended area of study. These applicants should submit any additional information that may assist the admissions committee in assessing their academic, technical or professional background and abilities. The additional information may include a résumé or professional portfolio summarizing any relevant technical competencies, professional experience, and any academic and professional achievements in areas related to the applicant's intended studies.

²

The letters should come from an individual familiar with the applicant’s academic or professional background and abilities. The letters should attest to the applicant’s potential to complete graduate work successfully. Letters of recommendation from persons who are experienced professionals in the applicant’s intended field of study or in a closely related area are acceptable. Recommendations from former or current professors are preferred.
