Admission

Graduate Admission Requirements
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 on a 4.00-point scale, or with an overall “B” grade equivalent may be considered for admission to graduate degree programs in the School of Engineering and Technology. International applicants must submit official test score reports from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to be considered for admissions.  Some graduate programs require official test scores for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) from both domestic and international applications.

Undergraduate Admissions
Admission is based on evidence presented by individual applicants to show that they are capable of profiting from and contributing to one of the academic programs of the school. Inquiries about admission to engineering and technology programs, as well as requests for admission applications, should be addressed to the IUPUI Office of Admissions, 420 University Boulevard, Campus Center 255, Indianapolis, IN 46202-5140.

Undergraduate Engineering Admission Requirements
In determining the qualifications of an applicant to undergraduate engineering programs, the Office of Admissions uses the following criteria:

  • Graduation from a high school accredited by a state Department of Public Instruction.
  • The extent to which the student meets or exceeds the following minimum requirements:
    • High School GPA of 3.0.
    • Completion of Core 40 including chemistry and 4 years of math including trigonometry or pre-calculus.
    • Minimum SAT scores of 550 math and 480 critical reading or ACT scores of 24 math and 20 verbal.
  • You must provide the results of your SAT or ACT, including the Written Section of the test (scores must be received at IUPUI by May 1).  If your class has graduated and a fall semester has passed since you graduated, you do not need to take the SAT or ACT.  Though test results are considered during the admission review, we do not deny students strictly based on their test results.  The SAT or ACT is most important when considering you for dual admission to your intended major and scholarship consideration.
  • Because of a limitation on the total number of applicants that may be accepted as first-year students, out-of-state admissions may close at any time. When it becomes necessary to limit the number of Indiana residents accepted for a specific program, students will be offered admission to an alternate program or admission to the desired program for a subsequent semester.

Undergraduate Technology Admission Requirements
In determining the qualifications of an applicant to undergraduate technology programs, the Office of Admissions uses the following criteria:

  • Graduation from a high school accredited by a state Department of Public Instruction.
  • Veterans with less than 26 college credits: Admission requirements for veterans include the submission and review of the Joint Services Transcript (JST) or the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript in lieu of high school transcript review.
  • The extent to which the student meets or exceeds the following minimum requirements:
    • Complete Academic Honors Diploma, Core 40, or equivalent, with
      • High School GPA of 3.0 or higher, OR
      • Minimum SAT scores of 500 math and 450 verbal/critical reading, or equivalent ACT scores of 21 math and 19 verbal.
