Mechanical Engineering Graduate Certificate

Admission Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering with above-average standing.

Additional Admission Requirements

The GCS Graduate Studies Committee will determine the acceptability of an applicant for admission to the program and may require the applicant to do specific remedial course work to meet the program requirements.

Degree Requirements

Fully-qualified candidates are required to complete a minimum of 16 credits.

The Graduate Certificate program can be completed in one year. Students with high standing in their Bachelor’s program and whose academic records satisfy the requirements for Good Standing in the Master’s program in Mechanical Engineering (see the General Requirements for all Programs section) may apply for transfer to the Master’s program.

Please see the Engineering Courses page for course descriptions and prerequisites.
