Graduate Admissions

The Graduate School website outlines basic requirements for admission. For admission to full graduate student status in any degree program, the Department requires an overall undergraduate GPA of at least 2.8 based on a 4.0 scale coupled with a 3.0 or higher in the undergraduate major, provided that the major is in an accredited engineering program.

Applicants not meeting the requirements for full admission are sometimes granted provisional admission to make up for academic deficiencies. Please see the Masters of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (MBAE) graduate manual for more information regarding those requirements. The general requirements for admission to provisional status are established by the Graduate School.
