Admission Requirements

Admission to MSOE's undergraduate programs are based upon:


High school background
See below for specifics based on degree program*.


Cumulative grade point average
Minimum cumulative GPA is 2.5 for a student's application to be reviewed for admission.


Composite standardized test score
Minimum composite standardized test score of 20 (ACT) and 940 (SAT - critical reading and math only) for a student's application to be reviewed for admission. MSOE does not currently require the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.

A student meeting these requirements is not guaranteed admission. Each student is assessed individually. High school classes, cumulative GPA and composite standardized test scores all play a part in the admission decision.
