The proficiency requirement should be satisfied within four quarters of entry. Normally, an undergraduate average of at least 3.20 on a 4.00 scale is required for acceptance as a Regular student in the M.S. program. Higher averages are expected of students seeking Conditional admission. Averages of at least 3.50 at the B.S. level and substantially above that at the M.S. level are required for acceptance into the Ph.D. program. Letters of recommendation from three sources are required.
Academic sources are preferred.
GRE scores are carefully considered when they are available. If GRE scores are not available, the Admissions committee may request the scores as a precondition to acceptance. Students who graduate from schools abroad are required to present GRE scores to be considered for admission and for Financial Aid. In accordance with Graduate School requirements, all students who seek University Fellowships must have an official report of the GRE scores sent to the EE department or OSU graduate school. The subject portion of the GRE is recommended, but not required.
