Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Applicants need the recognised bachelor's-equivalent qualification and the subject preparation required by their department.
  • ECE offers thesis and non-thesis options and requests its own supporting materials.
  • Information Systems requires academic records, a résumé, statement and recommendations, and publishes GMAT/GRE and waiver conditions.
  • Relevant work experience can strengthen an application but is not described as universally mandatory for that MS. A test waiver must be confirmed under the programme's criteria, not inferred from a different Auburn degree.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The Graduate School's international instructions list IELTS 6.5 and accepted TOEFL/Duolingo alternatives.
  • The page distinguishes the newer TOEFL scale from tests taken before January 21, 2026.
  • Programmes may set higher standards, and teaching-assistant language requirements are separate from admission.
  • Confirm the applicable test version and any waiver before submitting evidence.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • ECE publishes spring and fall admission cycles, while Information Systems gives separate international deadlines for summer, fall and spring.
  • Availability in one department does not create the same start in every master's.
  • Check whether the intended route is residential or online and whether it supports the required immigration documentation.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • ECE's recurring calendar lists December 15 for fall priority consideration, May 1 as the fall final date and September 15 for spring.
  • Information Systems instead lists international February 1 for summer, April 1 for fall and August 14 for spring.
  • The spring deadlines are already past at review.
  • These are recurring dates, not explicitly verified 2027 calls; reconfirm the next cohort and any funding cutoff.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Auburn's 2026–27 financial-aid estimate lists USD 37,554 in non-resident graduate tuition and fees for the combined fall/spring academic year at nine graduate hours per term.
  • This is not a per-semester amount or total-degree price.
  • Programme-specific professional fees, insurance, living costs and different enrolment loads may change the budget; request the selected department's assessment.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Research assistantships and departmental funding depend on academic fit, available resources and selection; ECE's priority timing matters.
  • A business master's offer should not be assumed to include an engineering assistantship package.
  • Obtain a written appointment or scholarship specifying tuition coverage, stipend and conditions before treating it as available funding.
