Admission

Prior to applying to the Doctor of Engineering program, an individual must first be admitted by a graduate program within the College of Engineering. An individual possessing a minimum of an ABET-accredited bachelor’s degree in engineering or the equivalent may apply for program admission.

An individual applying with a master’s degree in engineering must have a grade point average of at least 3.25 for his/her overall graduate studies. To be admitted to the Doctor of Engineering program by the College of Engineering, an applicant must complete the appropriate application form, provide transcripts of all academic work taken beyond the secondary school level, prepare a 300-word essay dealing with the applicant’s motivation for seeking admission to the program, be recommended by his/her respective department, be interviewed by the admissions subcommittee of the Doctor of Engineering program committee, and be approved by the College of Engineering. A student is required to pass the oral and written examinations associated with the Doctor of Engineering qualifying examination described in “Examinations.”
