Eligibility Criteria

Answer these two questions before you apply:

1) Are you a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident?
2) Are you currently enrolled or have you recently completed an accredited curriculum in engineering, physics, or chemistry?

If the answer to BOTH questions is yes, you are eligible to apply. However, preference will be given to seniors with a GPA of 3.2 or higher (on a 4.0 point scale) and whose cultural background will increase the diversity of the graduate student body.
