Admission requirements: Master of Science in Systems Engineering
Admission to the MSSE (ENSE) program is competitive. The program looks for strong evidence of motivation and achievement and/or significant professional experience. At a minimum, all applicants must meet the general admission requirements of the Graduate School, graduation from a regionally accredited college or university with a B average (or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale). Also key are three (3) strongly positive letters of recommendation, usually from current or recent instructors, employers, or supervisors; competitive scores on standardized tests (the GRE general test with writing assessment is required); and an articulate statement of appropriate goals and interests. Applicants should have a solid background in engineering, math or science.
Prospective and current students may seek support for their studies through graduate research assistantships or graduate fellowships. Students currently working in industry, the military, or the government, who plan to pursue their graduate studies part-time, might ask their employers about tuition assistance. All applicants are encouraged to explore sources of external funding; a number of comprehensive Internet sites, such as fastweb.com, offer detailed information and application instructions.
