Graduate Admission Requirements

General requirements for all graduate programs at MSOE include the following (also see specific program requirements):

Completion of a baccalaureate degree in a discipline appropriate for the graduate program to which the applicant seeks admission (see “Program-specific Requirements” section).
An academic record that indicates potential achievement in graduate studies. The expected minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) achieved at the institution from which the applicant earned a baccalaureate degree is 2.8 or 3.0 depending on the program of application (on a 4.0 scale). If an applicant’s undergraduate GPA is less than 2.8 or 3.0, that applicant is required to submit either Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) results (as specified for the particular program to which the applicant seeks admission). The scores on each GRE/GMAT test section deemed essential for that program need to place the applicant in the upper 50 percent of those tested. Individual programs may establish more stringent GPA or GRE/GMAT performance requirements. All students having baccalaureate degrees from non-U.S. institutions need to submit GRE or GMAT results, as specified for the particular program.
Two letters of recommendation or three letters of recommendation for the Perfusion and Medical Informatics Programs. Online recommendation forms are available.

Official transcripts sent directly from all colleges and/or universities previously attended. If official transcripts are not able to be obtained in the English language, a certified English translator should evaluate and translate the transcripts. All of the transcripts and the official translated information should be sent to MSOE.
For applicants whose native language is not English, language proficiency must be demonstrated by one of the following methods:
International student applicants who will require immigration documents issued by MSOE must submit a certified bank statement or notarized MSOE Financial Certificate, detailing the availability of finances for the first year of study (including tuition and living expenses). If transferring from another institution that has issued immigration documents, an MSOE International Transfer Form also must be submitted.
A copy of a current passport.

Program-specific Requirements

Transfer of Credit

A maximum of 9 credits of approved graduate work taken at another institution may be transferred with the consent of the respective MSOE graduate program director. Such courses will be accepted only if taken for graduate credit and if equivalent to a graduate course in the selected program of study at MSOE. Grades of "B" or better are needed in graduate courses considered for transfer.
