Ph.D. applicants are not required to pay to apply; they must initiate the application and provide the following items for free admission pre-screening consideration: transcripts, curriculum vitae (CV)/Resume, Statement of Purpose, three (3) recommendations, (if an international applicant) English Language Proficiency; and then STOP. Do not pay to submit/apply. If approved for admission, you will receive an email with a fee waiver and be directed to apply formally! You will not be reimbursed if you pay. The MSEN Admission Committee has full access to review and make decisions on in-progress applicants as long as the above-mentioned requirements are provided, and unofficial records will be satisfactory for admissions review.
Masters applicants are required to pay the application fee, and no fee waivers will be provided; please do submit inquiries.
U.S. Citizen/Domestic Applicants: $123 - Texas A&M University fee ($65) + Engineering Processing Fee ($58)
International Applicants: $148 - Texas A&M University fee ($90) + EngineeringCAS Processing Fee ($58)
Please do not send emails requesting an application fee waiver; they will not be reviewed. The process is outlined above for both doctoral and master's applicants.
Quick Admit Graduate Program
This program is only for current Texas A&M undergraduates; MSEN’s Quick Admit Graduate Program provides an expedited review process for our Master’s programs. MSEN accepts applications from both engineering and science bachelor’s degree programs. Students who wish to pursue a master’s degree in the same department from which they are graduating will be automatically admitted if they have a 3.25 GPA or higher— all others will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Important: You may only apply to one program at no cost.
Deadline: Fall (June 1), Spring (October 1)
