Admissions Criteria
Admission to this program requires:
- A four-year Bachelor of Science degree in engineering or sciences from an accredited institution in the United States or an equivalent international institution. Applicants with a bachelor's degree in "engineering technology" will generally not qualify for admission.
- A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) for the last two years of undergraduate work. If you have less than a 3.0 GPA, you will need at least 7 years of work experience to be considered for this program.
- If any other graduate work has been completed, the average GPA must be at least 3.0.
- Complete graduate school application.
- Official transcripts from all universities or colleges and other post-secondary educational institutions (including trade schools) attended. You must supply transcripts regardless of the number of credits earned or the type of school you attended. If you do not list all post-secondary institutions on your application and these are listed on transcripts received from other institutions, processing of your application will be delayed until you have submitted the remaining transcripts.

- Two letters of recommendation (professional or academic).
- Submission of your resume and a 500 word essay on why you wish to pursue graduate studies in engineering.
- International Students must submit a TOEFL score indicating a minimum of 600 (paper exam) or 250 (CBT exam). For more information, view the International Studentspage.

Application to this Certificate program allows provisional graduate admission on a non-matriculated status. If you are interested in continuing your studies towards an M.S. in Engineering Management, you may apply credits earned through the Certificate program.
The Admissions Committee evaluates all credentials submitted by applicants to determine a student's ability and potential to succeed in graduate study. In addition, the committee is interested in the applicant's potential to contribute to his/her program of study and to the University community as a whole.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for all four terms.
