Admission and Application Requirements
- Graduate School admission and application requirements are found on the Admission Information page.
- In addition, this program prefers applicants to contact and work with an ECE professor before coming to NDSU, such that the professor recommends the applicant for admittance into the program. Each professor will have different expectations for the amount and type of work he/she will require you to do in order for him/her to recommend you for admittance into the NDSU ECE graduate program.
- Applicants should review the department website and contact a faculty member working in a research area in which they are interested in pursuing their graduate studies.
- If the applicant is not recommended by a professor, the program requires applicants to complete the GRE with a score of at least 145 Verbal and 155 Quantitative, and have a minimum GPA of 3.0 on their latest Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering degree, either B.S. or M.S.
- The GRE subject area test is not required.
