Please read this completely, before you

email, phone, FAX, or surface/snail-mail.
Admission is based upon the faculty's assessment of the applicant's
aptitude for research and the compatibility of his or her
interests to match with the active research programs and
capabilities of the department. Applicants are advised to
pay particular attention to their statements of purpose
(page 3 of the application form). Minimum requirements,
in addition to those of the Graduate School, are as follows:
- A. A bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry,
or a closely related area from an accredited college or university.

(Part-time master's students are exempt.)

Even though the Graduate School requires only 550, our
department has a higher standard of 600.

and Engineering and the Graduate School.
