Application Instructions

Requirements

• Applicants must complete their bachelor's degree before enrollment in the MSEE program. (Note: students may apply for the MSEE program and take up to two master's level courses before completing their bachelor's degree.)
• Applicants must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better from the undergraduate program in which the bachelor's degree is earned. However, this requirement may be waived for students whose GPA for their last 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of undergraduate work is sufficiently high.
• GRE scores are required for all applicants except those with an ABET-accredited engineering bachelor's degree or a GPA of 3.2 or higher in a prior STEM degree*. Scores will be used to make admission decisions, but no specific minimum score is required. For information on taking the GRE, visit https://www.ets.org/gre.
• International applicants must have a minimum internet-based TOEFL score of 79 (with a minimum of 17 in each category) or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 (with a minimum of 6.0 in each category).
• International applicants must have their foreign credentials evaluated. You must also have your foreign credentials evaluated by a foreign credential evaluation company. Visit our International Student & Scholar Center website for a list of approved companies.
• Applicants must submit their resumes (or CVs) and unofficial transcripts at the time of application.

Procedure

• Applications must be completed online - please follow the instructions on the application page. You can save the application and log in later to edit it before submitting it for final review. Each application must be accompanied by a $60 (U.S.) application fee ($95 for international / non-U.S. resident applicants). This may be paid with a credit card using the online application form.
• Applicants must include the name(s) of any post-secondary school they have attended, including the dates of attendance, degree(s) earned (or expected), and GPA.
• Applicants must supply resumes and unofficial copies of their (bachelor's degree) transcripts in .pdf format.
• U.S. applicants must supply official transcripts from all institutions associated with their bachelor's degrees. Official transcripts should be sent directly from the institutions in question to the WSU Engineering Department (address below). Transcripts may also be sent from the applicant if they are in their original, sealed envelopes. Official transcripts from Weber State University are not required for students who provide a W-number in their online application.
• International applicants must supply a course-by-course evaluation of their (bachelor's degree) transcripts prepared by a foreign credential evaluation company. For a list of approved companies, see https://www.naces.org. The report should be sent directly from the evaluation company to the WSU Engineering Department (address below). Alternatively, it may be sent from the applicant if it is in its original, sealed envelope.
• GRE scores* (and, for international students, TOEFL/IELTS scores) should be sent directly to Weber State University (ETS code 4941) Department of Engineering.

Applicants are responsible for submitting a complete application. If your application is incomplete at the time of submission, it will be held until the missing items are submitted. Applicants may log on to their application portal to check which elements of their applications have been received.

Leveling Courses

After being accepted, students who have not graduated from an ABET-accredited Electrical Engineering program must demonstrate the ability to pass the following Math courses and 3 of the 4 ECE courses:

• Microelectronic Circuits (ECE 3110).
• Systems and Signals (ECE 3210).
• Electromagnetics I (ECE 3310).
• Digital Systems (ECE 3610).
• Probability and Statistics (MATH 3410)
• Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (MATH 2250 or both MATH 2270 and MATH 2280)

Graduate Application - Transcripts and Test Scores

Undergraduate students applying to WSU send transcripts to admissions@weber.edu.

Graduate applicants should submit official transcripts of their academic record from all previous colleges or universities attended, along with any required test scores. Sending these documents electronically is the preferred method. Please request these documents to be sent directly to the Master of Science Electrical Engineering Admissions Committee at msece@weber.edu.

If a college or university does not provide this option, request that the official transcripts be sent directly to you. Then, forward them unopened in their original sealed envelope to the admissions office address.

Application Deadlines

Applicants wishing to start in the Fall Semester must complete their applications on or before the first Friday in March. Applicants wishing to start in the Spring Semester must complete their applications on or before the first Friday in October.

Applicants who have not yet been admitted to the program may, with departmental permission, take up to two courses that will count toward their degree.

Please note that we do not admit applicants on a rolling basis. Completed applications are considered by the Admissions Committee only at meetings after each application deadline.
