Admission essentials

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • The MEng application guidance expects an engineering or STEM bachelor's degree and a 3.0 GPA across the undergraduate degree or the final two years.
  • It specifies four semesters of mathematics, including Calculus I and II plus advanced mathematics.
  • Computing applicants also need the relevant programming and computer-science foundation; submit transcripts, a résumé, a personal statement and two recommendations.
  • GRE scores are not required for the MEng.
  • These professional-degree criteria must not be substituted for the research MS admission review.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Applicants who need English-language evidence must use UConn's current approved test and exemption rules.
  • The MEng application page notes changes affecting PTE and Duolingo evidence from Spring 2026 onward.
  • Do not assume that an English-medium degree automatically grants a waiver; obtain confirmation for your particular qualification.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The MEng publishes fall, spring and summer application cycles.
  • Whether a particular concentration can support an in-person start and immigration documentation needs separate confirmation.
  • The fully online Data Science concentration does not sponsor student visas.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • Published recurring MEng closing dates are July 15 for fall, December 1 for spring and April 20 for summer.
  • On the review date, December 1 is the next listed spring deadline; the page does not label a specific 2027 cohort.
  • Confirm capacity and the international document timeline rather than treating a recurring date as a guaranteed available seat.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • For 2026–27, MEng academic programme fees are USD 1,300 per credit.
  • A 30-credit MEng therefore has approximately USD 39,000 in programme fees at that rate; housing, food, books and other expenses are additional.
  • This is an MEng-specific quote, not the research MS tuition schedule or a fixed future-year price.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The computing MEng page states that graduate assistantships are not offered for MEng students.
  • The fee-based programme also warns that a general graduate-assistant tuition waiver does not waive its academic programme fees.
  • Build a self-funded budget unless a specific written external or institutional award is confirmed.
