Applicants seeking admission to a graduate program in Aerospace Engineering as regular students must have been awarded a baccalaureate degree. Admission to the Aerospace Engineering graduate programs normally requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering (not necessarily in aerospace engineering), a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0/4.0 or 70% on all graduate and undergraduate works. An undergraduate degree in mathematics, chemistry or physics combined with a strong interest in engineering topics may be suitable preparation when certain required undergraduate courses are taken. Exceptions to these requirements may be made if other persuasive evidence indicating the student’s potential of success is available.
