Degree Requirements

Students applying for the accelerated master's degree program must meet the entrance requirements of the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS). A bachelor's degree with a minimum grade average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) in the last two years of undergraduate study from a recognized institution is generally required.

Grades of C or better in two college calculus courses are prerequisite to all graduate programs in the EMSE Department. Applicants who do not meet this requirement must take the 3-credit hour course, EMSE 292, Special Topics: Quantitative Methods in Engineering Management, during the first semester of graduate study at GW.
