Graduate Admissions

The MME Department offers three graduate degrees: Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME), Master of Science in Materials Science (MSMSE), and PhD in Mechanical Engineering.

The Mechanical & Materials Engineering Department does not provide pre-admission evaluations to prospective graduate students. Students with non-engineering degrees are encouraged to review the Mechanical Engineering Bachelor's Degree requirements & course plans for an understanding of the type of coursework students with mechanical engineering backgrounds have in order to determine if additional coursework is necessary before applying. If it is determined that an applicant is lacking in a particular area of study, that applicant may be admitted with conditions specified in their admission letter, detailing a list of courses required prior to graduation from their master's degree program.
