1. Apply for Admission
The following steps are required for full-time transfer students to complete the application process:

1. Complete the online transfer application - it’s free!
2. Submit all of your official college transcripts. College courses must have been taken at an accredited college or university in order to be used for admission purposes and considered for transfer credit. If you did not attend an accredited college or university, your high school information should be submitted to be considered for acceptance.
3. We review your cumulative college GPA when making acceptance decisions. Below are the minimum cumulative GPAs we accept for certain majors:

        Nursing                                 3.0 cumulative GPA
        Business                               2.75 cumulative GPA
        Engineering                           3.0 cumulative GPA
        Engineering Technology          2.75 cumulative GPA

4. Submit official high school transcripts if you have completed fewer than 24 college credits.
5. Submit your ACT or SAT scores if you have completed fewer than 24 college credits and if you graduated from high school less than two years ago.

All information should be sent to the following address:

MSOE Admissions Office

MSOE operates on a rolling admission basis, and does not have any deadlines for application. An admissions decision will be made within one or two weeks of receiving all required information. We will also review your file for merit-based scholarships, based on cumulative GPA. You will be notified when admission and scholarship decisions are made. You will also be mailed your official credit evaluation, usually within four weeks after your acceptance. To view which classes may transfer, visit the online transfer manual.
