Software Engineering Admissions
Overview
Students considered for admission into the MS Software Engineering
program have academic degrees and/or industry professional
experience in computer related fields including Computer Science,
Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Information
Systems. Students are expected to have math and physics background
consistent with an Engineering or Sciences undergraduate degree
program. A prospective student must have degree(s) equivalent
to a four-year U.S. undergraduate Bachelor's degree.
Prospective students applying for admissions must have an
undergraduate degree where the medium of instruction was English
or have passed the TOEFL exam with a score of at least 550 paper based, 213 computer
based, or 80 for the Internet based test.
A GRE score is not required for students with an undergraduate
degree from an ABET accredited university. A GRE score is
not required from other universities at this time but is strongly
recommended. Admissions is competitive and a GRE score can
boost a student's chances of admission.
Academic and professional references are not required.
