To be eligible for admission to the Graduate School at Marquette University, applicants must meet the following requirements:
Applicants who do not have an engineering degree must complete prerequisite engineering requirements. The list of required prerequisite course(s) is determined during the academic advising process. Students who do not meet the 3.000 requirement, but have completed one year of engineering work experience, are reviewed and considered based upon a letter of recommendation from their supervisor to determine the applicant’s ability to complete advanced course work.
Application Requirements
Read all application instructions prior to beginning an application.
- A completed online application form and fee.
- Transcripts:
- Two letters of recommendation addressing the applicant's suitability for completing graduate-level course work: one from a professor familiar with the student's academic achievement and one from a work supervisor (engineer) or another professor. Waived if the applicant's GPA is 3.000 or above.
- Statement of purpose, describing reasons for pursuing an advanced degree and career goals.
- (For international applicants only) a TOEFL score or other acceptable proof of English proficiency.
1Upon admission, final official transcripts from all previously attended colleges/universities, with certified English translations if original language is not English, must be submitted to the Graduate School within the first five weeks of the term of admission or a hold preventing registration for future terms will be placed on the student’s record.
2Upon admission, an official course-by-course transcript/academic record evaluation must be submitted to the Graduate School within the first five weeks of the term of admission or a hold preventing registration for future terms will be placed on the student’s record.
This program has rolling admission, which means you may apply and submit all application materials any time before the following dates:
- Fall term admissions – August 1
- Spring term admissions – December 15
Applicants who wish to be considered for merit-based financial aid (scholarships) should be aware of the merit-based financial aid deadlines by which all applicant materials must be received by the Graduate School:
