- Applicants should have the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree. Students are required to use a credentialing organization such as WES.org, ECE, or ACCRO.
All Students
- Depending on your undergraduate course of study, prerequisite courses may be required.
- Applicants are required of the equivalent of 3.0 on a 4.0 grading scale; students with a score lower than 3.0 would be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis depending on professional accomplishments and work experience.
