  Applicants must apply online, please be sure to carefully select the correct application type.

• What is the deadline for the arrival of the recommendations or other materials supporting my application?

  

  All application materials should be submitted and received within two to four weeks after the posted deadline. Columbia Engineering reserves the right to review and render decisions on applications that remain incomplete following the posted deadlines. References can be added to your submitted application after the priority deadline, if necessary. It is in your best interest to complete your application close to the priority deadline. The contacts you list as reference providers will be able to add their letters directly to your online application after submission.

• May I provide you with background information about myself such as GPA, prior education, work experience, and test scores, to learn about my chances for admission and the possibility of financial aid before applying?

  

  Unfortunately, we are unable to evaluate your candidacy prior to the submission of a complete application. There is no minimum score requirement for standardized test scores or GPA in order to apply for admission consideration. If you are interested in admission, we encourage you to submit a complete application along with the required documents.

• Do I need a degree in engineering to apply?

  

  Ordinarily, applicants have majored in the field in which graduate study is intended. However, in certain programs, preparation in a related field of engineering or science is acceptable. The applicant will be admitted only if the undergraduate record shows promise of productive and effective graduate work.
