Applicants to the M.Eng. program must have a baccalaureate degree (bachelor's degree) in an area of engineering, physical science or biological science with a strong preparation in mathematics and physics. They should have introductory-level knowledge of biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology, organic chemistry, physics, statistics and computer programming plus a working knowledge of calculus and differential equations. Course work or experience in biological or environmental engineering is desirable but is not required. Official transcripts: Official transcripts of undergraduate and graduate studies (if applicable) should be scanned and uploaded into the online application as part of the submission process. For students who are subsequently admitted and accept the offer of admission, a formal paper transcript will be required prior to matriculation. Applicants with a cumulative undergraduate GPA greater than 2.7 may be admitted directly by decision of the BEE graduate field. Students with a cumulative GPA between 2.5 and 2.7 may be admitted conditionally by recommendation of the field and approval of the College of Engineering Master of Engineering Committee. (The GPA values are based on a 4.3 scale.) Applicants may be admitted with science and engineering degrees that are relevant to research programs in the graduate field of Biological and Environmental Engineering. It is expected that master of engineering candidates who do not have a comprehensive background in engineering will use the program as an opportunity to reinforce their understanding of core topics and expand their breadth of knowledge in the field by enrolling in appropriate advanced undergraduate courses. Candidates develop their course plan together with their M.Eng. faculty advisor. all Graduate School Requirements, including the TOEFL Exam or IELTS Academic Exam for non-native English applicants Letters of recommendation resume Statement of purpose Personal Statement (see description here) Transcripts GRE scores NOT REQUIRED Applicants must meet or exceed the minimum on the Internet-based test - Writing: 20; Listening: 15; Reading: 20; Speaking: 22.
