Applicants must meet the general requirements for admission to graduate study, as outlined in the Admission Requirements. A minimum of one year of relevant full-time work experience in the field is required, and a detailed work résumé and transcripts from all college studies must be submitted. Admitted students typically have earned a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (B or above) in the latter half of their undergraduate studies. When reviewing an application, the candidate’s academic and professional background will be considered.

The Systems Engineering program offers two degree distinctions—a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) and a Master of Science (MS). In order to be admitted into the MSE program, applicants need to hold a degree issued by a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, . Students admitted without a Bachelor of Science degree from an EAC of ABET-accredited program (or who did not complete the prerequisites that meet all of the EAC of ABET-accreditation requirements for the attainment of student outcomes and for sufficient math, science, and engineering design at the Bachelor of Science level) will receive a regionally accredited Master of Science degree. There is no difference in the curriculum for the MSE and MS programs.
