Graduate Program Admission Requirements
Before being admitted and while filling the graduate application, students applying to the MS program should pick the option(s) they want, i.e., thesis -option, project -option, and/or course-based option (students can apply to multiple options). The department can then accept or reject the applicant in one or more options. Students who pick the thesis option will be eligible for GFAP.
The admission requirements to the course-based MS degree are identical to those of the thesis/project MS degree, mainly:
- Applicants must meet the Readiness for University Studies in English.
- Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from AUB or its equivalent from a recognized institution of higher learning.
- To be accepted as a regular graduate student, an undergraduate average of at least 80 in the major field of study and a cumulative average of at least 75 for all work done at the undergraduate level are needed.
- To be accepted on probation, an undergraduate average of at least 77 in the major field of study and a cumulative average of at least 75 for all work done at the undergraduate level are needed.
- Applicants may be accepted as prospective graduate students if they do not have sufficient academic preparation in the field.
