5 Year Masters Program

Traditional Master's Program vs. 5 year Bachelor's/Master's Program
Students may enter the Master's program in one of two ways:

Traditional Students
Students who are not UDM students or UDM students who do not qualify for the 5-year Bachelor's/Master's program or UDM alumni may apply for graduate school either on-line or by completing a written application. Typical minimum requirements include an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline from an accredited university.  Although the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not required, a strong score on the GRE will strengthen the application.  In addition, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if applicable, while not required as part of the application, is encouraged because its results can be useful in facilitating the admission process.

5-Year Bachelor's/Master's Students
Students who are completing their Bachelor's degree at UDM may apply for the 5-year Bachelor's/Master's program in their senior year if they have a GPA of at least 3.25, are in good standing with UDM, and are within two to three terms of graduating. If accepted into the 5-year Bachelor's/Master's program, students can receive up to nine transfer credits to their Master's program from appropriate courses in their Bachelor's program.  Contact the department chair to apply for this program.
