Minimum TOEFL Requirements ibt/pbt: 89/575.
We will fully consider for admission any student that applies with an undergraduate engineering degree and/or BS degree. The program no longer accepts students with a background in Art. We do not have the resources necessary to respond to inquiries that ask if a particular degree is equivalent to a B.S. or other undergraduate engineering degree. To answer this question yourself, please consult with the institution that granted the degree and attach official documentation from the institution supporting that your degree is a B. S. equivalent under the Supplemental Materials section of your online application.
GRE scores are not required for Design Impact applicants for the upcoming Grad Admissions cycle (students entering Fall of 2022).

In the Supplemental Information section of the application, enter your application web address (URL) of your ''application website'' (ie. http://...) in the box provided. This is a single weblink that we can access. If this is a password protected site, you may then enter your website password in the second box below the URL entry box. There are no specific guidelines on the kind of website you submit or how many projects should be part of this website. Think of the website as your vehicle to demonstrate who you are and how you think. Your website is our only window into your creativity. It also shows us what kinds of design problems are important to you, so make it personal.
Given this, each website is expected to be diverse and unique. However, please do not provide too large a body of work with repetitive examples of the same media, process, or end product. We are looking for breadth as well as depth. Designers often work on teams so we want you to be specific about your role on the project. We will judge the quality of your work more by your editing and selection and not by its volume.

Your website should be about your design thinking and the types of design and subjects that interest you. It should clearly demonstrate the specific ''toolkit'' that you are bringing to the program. It should express your thinking on the subjects that you deem important. It should demonstrate your ability to visualize things. It should show us how you develop new and innovative solutions. These solutions can be in almost any area, but we are particularly interested in new products, services, environments, information, and smart/interactive products and spaces. It should document some user research as well as include photos of some 2D and 3D work.
‍
A case study is a great thing to include on your website. Case studies are an effective way to explain your creative process and can include all the ''messy prototypes'' and ''important failures.'' They are also one good way to show us non-design projects and entrepreneurial endeavors that emphasize your leadership skills and your strategic thinking. Case studies should be brief and visually interesting. It is typically a one- or two-page description of a project, including some description of the original problem and lots of visual information about the process that resolves it. We are not looking for a lot of writing. As designers, we prefer case studies that are more like narratives or storyboards, not like research papers.
