Admission to the graduate program in mechanical engineering is open to qualified students with a baccalaureate degree in mechanical engineering or other fields of engineering. A minimum baccalaureate grade-point average of 3.00 (or 2.75 for students from EAC/ABET-accredited programs) normally is required. Students without a degree in mechanical engineering are required to take prescribed undergraduate courses in mechanical engineering to ensure adequate preparation for the required graduate-level courses. These courses are available both day and evening from the Mechanical Engineering Department and other departments in the University. Undergraduate courses taken to remediate deficiencies do not count toward graduate degree requirements.

The GRE General section is required if one or more of the following conditions is true:

The undergraduate degree was awarded by a college or university outside of the United States or Canada, or by a Canadian institution not accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.
An unaccredited college or university awarded the undergraduate degree.
The student's undergraduate cumulative grade-point average is below 2.75.
The year of the baccalaureate degree precedes the date of application to the College of Graduate Studies by more than six years, however, in this case, the examination requirement may be waived, with program approval, if the applicant's undergraduate grade-point average is 3.00 or above.

TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based) score of 78 with at least 17 in each section
TOEFL PBT (Paper-Based) score of 550
IELTS score of 6.0 and at least 5.0 in each section
