Admission Requirements for International Students

In addition to meeting the Engineering for Professionals general admission requirements, and any program-specific requirements, all international students must complete the following application requirements:

International Credential Evaluation

All applicants who hold a degree or have earned credits from non-US institutions must have their academic records evaluated using a course-by-course evaluation, accredited by NACES (naces.org/members) before they can be considered for graduate admission of any kind.

  • We strongly recommend:

Please note that if using a provider, like WES, this evaluation may take up to 7 days once received and verified. An applicant is encouraged to have their issuing institution contact the wes.org “Help Center” through the “Write to Us” page, and make a request to send your documents digitally.

I enjoyed the courses, the course materials, topics, and more than anything, the hands on projects associated with the course. The Professors were all professional and approachable. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone.
