Apply for Admission
The following steps are required for full-time traditional students to complete the application process:
- Complete a freshman application - it's FREE online
or complete a universal college application. - Submit your official high school transcripts.
- Submit your ACT or SAT scores. We do not require both tests. When you register to take the test, you can request to have the scores sent directly to MSOE. MSOE's code for ACT is 4616 and SAT is 1476. We currently do not require the writing portion of either test.
All information should be sent to the following address:
MSOE Admission Office
1025 N Broadway
Milwaukee, WI 53202
MSOE does not have any deadlines for application, as we are on a rolling admission. An admissions decision will be made within one to two weeks of receiving all information. We will also review your file for merit based scholarships, based on your cumulative GPA and composite standardized test score. Once admission and scholarship decisions are made you will be notified.
Apply for Financial Aid
Financial aid includes scholarships, grants, loans and work-study. In order to apply for aid you must complete the following steps:
- File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- Make sure to include the school code for MSOE when completing the form: 003868
You may complete the FAFSA after January 1 of each year. MSOE's priority deadline for filing the FAFSA is March 15. You do no have to be accepted to file the FAFSA; however you must be accepted to MSOE in order to receive your final award.
