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:
- 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) transcripts in lieu of high school transcript review.
Engineering Direct-Admit
- 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:
- Core 40 or equivalent coursework*with a minimum GPA of 3.0
- Completion or enrollment in pre-calculus and chemistry
- SAT: Math score of 570 and SAT Evidenced Based Reading and Writing score of 540 or ACT: Math score of 24 and ACT English score of 20.
- Students must provide the results of their SAT or ACT, including the Written Section of the test (scores must be received at IUPUI by May 1). If the student's class has graduated and a fall semester has passed since graduation, the student will 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 students 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.
