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, a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline from an accredited university and successful completion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Although no minimum score is required for the Graduate record Exam (GRE), results from the exam are used to evaluate the overall 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.
