Application considerations
Applications to the M.Eng. program will be reviewed against program admissions criteria that include your prior academic record, relevant professional experience and written statements.
Applications to the M.S. program will be reviewed against the same criteria, with additional consideration of matching you with a faculty advisor for the thesis or project options. As such, admissions to the M.S. program will generally be more selective.
