Graduate Admissions Application
Information Letter to Prospective Graduate Students
Admission Requirements
An applicant must satisfy the minimum admission requirements of the Graduate College. In addition, the applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program or a baccalaureate degree in physics or chemistry, and must follow the application procedures specified below. Admission is competitive and the achievement of minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
Application Procedures
A prospective student may apply at any time and should follow the general graduate application procedure for degree-seeking students (see Applying as a Degree-Seeking Student in this catalog). The applicant must also (1) submit a statement of purpose to the graduate program coordinator, (2) have three letters of recommendation submitted directly by the references to the graduate program coordinator, and (3) arrange to have GRE General Test scores submitted by the Educational Testing Service (www.ets.org) directly to Boise State University (code R4018). The statement of purpose should give the educational and professional background of the student and his or her motivation for graduate study including career goals. Once the applicant’s file is complete, it will be evaluated by the Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Studies Committee and an admission recommendation (regular, provisional, or denial) will be forwarded to the Dean of the Graduate College. In order to ensure proper mentoring of all graduate students, a recommendation for regular or provisional admission will not be forwarded unless a faculty member of the Department of Materials Science Engineering is available to serve as the major advisor. The graduate dean will make the final admission decision and notify the applicant and the Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Studies Committee.
