At the Department
of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics,

we are assembling some of the finest young graduate talent in the country. Each year, we admit to our program a diverse group of extremely high caliber students who have a strong engineering or physical science background and are interested in a multidisciplinary approach to their coursework and research.

MEAM grants admission to students who have a superior record of achievement in their previous studies and show a strong potential for continued success at the advanced level. Applicants to our master's programs usually hold a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with a high grade point average in their undergraduate studies. We also require strong Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.

In addition, we encourage applications to our master's program from students whose undergraduate education was in a related scientific subject, such as other engineering disciplines, mathematics, or physics. We also

encourage applications from industry engineers seeking further educational training.

Applicants to our doctoral program typically hold a relevant master's degree with a high grade point average plus strong GRE scores. Outstanding students with only an undergraduate degree are also considered for direct admission to the doctoral program.

While your academic grades and GRE scores are very important when

being considered for admission to both our master's and doctoral programs, we also take into account other aspects of your background, including your experience in research, engineering employment, and undergraduate activities.

We require three letters of recommendations for both master's and doctoral applicants. (At least one letter must be from an academic institution.) We also require the GRE General Test.
