Requirements
Admission to a post-graduate degree program at the PI is under the control of the individual engineering programs. Students not meeting the minimum requirements may be admitted to a Program on a provisional basis; applicants with significant relevant industrial experience will be given special consideration for admission. Provisional students will be required to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 for nine graduate credit hours in order to be removed from provisional status. Each program will examine the applicant's academic background in order to assess the student's needs in terms of deficiency courses which normally will need to be fulfilled before starting the post-graduate program.
Admission for students from other technical disciplines or who have non-technical undergraduate degrees will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the cognizant engineering program. Students taking deficiency courses will have provisional status, and will be required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or greater.
Credit for academic work at other accredited academic institutions will also be considered; in general, academic credit for work experience will not be granted. A maximum of six (6) credit hours can be transferred to the PI to satisfy post-graduate degree requirements.
After recommendation by the Engineering Program, final approval for admission to the Post-Graduate program is required by the Director of Graduate Studies and Research or his/her designate.
