MSAE Application Details

This program has rolling admission, which means you may apply any time before the following dates:

Fall – August 15
Spring – January 5
Summer – May 5

International students should apply by the following deadlines due to the need to allow enough time to secure proper visa requirements.

Fall semester – May 1
Spring semester – October 1

Admission to the MSAE program requires that applicants have successfully completed a bachelor's degree with a GPA of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale). For those below the 3.0 requirement, please contact us to see if other qualifications, including a GMAT or GRE score, may be used to help fulfill this requirement. Qualified applicants are expected to have completed coursework in economics through intermediate microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and at least one course in both basic statistics and calculus at the college level. Applicants without the required background will be required to make up the deficiency either through remedial coursework or an approved program of self-study.

Although it is strongly recommended that students begin the program in the fall semester, applicants for the spring semester will be considered.
