Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • International applicants need a qualification equivalent to a US bachelor's degree and academic records for a credential evaluation.
  • Programme requirements may add a résumé, statement and one to three recommendations.
  • The international office identifies the required records, so a three-year degree should be assessed individually rather than promised admission or rejected solely by duration.
  • Subject preparation and any GRE requirement should be checked with the selected engineering programme.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Dayton's international graduate catalogue lists IELTS 6.5 and accepted TOEFL, PTE and Duolingo alternatives for full admission, while warning that departments can require higher scores.
  • Academically qualified applicants with insufficient English may be considered for an Intensive English Programme arrangement.
  • Conditional language admission is not the same as meeting the degree's full-entry requirement.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The international admissions page describes fall, spring and summer terms, with programme availability subject to department confirmation.
  • Most engineering routes offer a campus experience, while some subjects have flexible online options.
  • Do not apply an online fee or start date to a residential offer.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The current international page publishes recurring June 1 for fall, November 1 for spring and March 1 for summer.
  • It explicitly introduces an application fee from spring 2027 onward, but the recurring dates themselves are not labelled as a complete 2027 programme calendar.
  • Confirm the next degree intake and allow time for credential review and immigration documents.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2026–27 graduate tuition table lists Science and Engineering certificate/MS/PhD/DE study at USD 1,145 per credit.
  • Other charges, living costs and any special-format programme pricing are separate.
  • A 30-credit study plan would therefore need its own confirmed credit and fee assessment; do not assume every listed master's has that length or quote a scholarship-adjusted price without an award.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Check departmental assistantships and programme-specific awards directly with graduate admissions.
  • No verified universal scholarship amount for every international engineering master's applicant was established in this review.
  • Any funding letter should identify the award, covered credits or fees, duties and renewal conditions; do not fund the plan through an assumed future job.
