All conditional admissions must be approved by the Dean of the College of Engineering. Evaluations of conditionally admitted students after completion of 12 hours of graduate work also must be approved by the Dean, as are required for readmission. The applicant must receive a satisfactory score on the Aptitude portion of the Graduate Record Examination. Acceptability for admission is based upon the applicant's records and background as determined by the department in which the applicant will pursue his or her major area of study. The department has the perogative to accept the applicant without reservation, to accept the applicant with conditions, or to reject the applicant.
Any conditions are to be clearly stated and agreed to by the applicant before admission is complete.
The decision as to whether a program will include a thesis, design project or problem report is to be made on an individual basis at the time of filing the student's Plan of Study. A minimum of 12 semester hours of approved electives. In order to broaden the student's exposure to subject matter and faculty expertise, at least six of these elective hours must be in mathematics, science or another engineering department. At least 18 of the required 30 semester hours must be in courses at the 6000-level or above. Only the grades of A, B or C are accepted toward a graduate degree.
