Admissions

Applicants should have a masters degree in an engineering, technological, or scientific field before beginning in the CS&E Ph.D. program. Applications are accepted for fall, spring and summer semesters. Applicants should, however, be aware that most types of financial aid begin in the fall semester. To be ensured full consideration for financial aid, applications for fall admission should be received by February 1 of the same year.

Applications for admission may be obtained by writing the Graduate School or the Computational Science and Engineering Program at Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan 49931, USA. Among other things, the application asks for official transcripts of all university work, TOEFL scores (if English is not your native language), and a Statement of Purpose. GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores are requested though not required. It may also be helpful when your application is evaluated if you have taken a GRE subject examination.

In addition to what is asked for on the application form, the CS&E program requires that your application include three letters of reference. Reference letters may be submitted with your application, or sent separately. An application, with or without letters of reference, should be sent to the Graduate School:

        Michigan Technological University
        1400 Townsend Drive
        Houghton MI, 49931

If the letters of reference are sent separately, then they should be sent to the Computational Science and Engineering Program:

        Computational Science and Engineering Program
        Michigan Technological University
        1400 Townsend Drive 
        Houghton MI, 49931
