WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

We expect MS applicants to have:

  • A four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. university or foreign equivalent;
  • An undergraduate major or advanced coursework in one of the natural or engineering sciences;
  • Completed a college-level calculus course (grade of B-minus or better);
  • Completed the equivalent of an introductory course in microeconomics (grade of B-minus or better);
  • Basic competence in the use of computers.

Applicants who have inadequate preparation in these prerequisites but who are otherwise qualified for admission may be considered for admission (at the discretion of the faculty admissions committee) but may be required to take the relevant courses before beginning the program or taking core courses.

If you have questions about your academic preparation for the MS program, contact the admissions office at 612-626-7229 or hhhadmit@umn.edu.
