Outstanding graduates from diverse engineering, and biological and physical science backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Admission to the Master's program requires a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. It is expected that full-time graduate students working towards a Master's degree can complete their studies in 2 years or less. Although admission to the Ph.D. program normally requires an M.S. degree, outstanding students with a B.S. may directly enter the Ph.D. program. Students already having an M.S. and working toward the Ph.D. full time are expected to complete their studies in 3 years or less. Part-time students should expect to carry out their programs on a time frame comparable to full-time students.

Applicants may be accepted by the Graduate School in one of the following three categories: full graduate status, provisional graduate status, and nondegree status. Program requirements are individualized and vary with the background and interest of the student.

The application fee is $60 for U.S. citizens, permanent residents and international applicants (2005).
