Utah's Kahlert School distinguishes the flexible Computer Science degree from Computing degrees organised into specified tracks. Electrical and Computer Engineering has a separate admissions process and calendar. Applicants should first select the exact award and research direction, then check the appropriate department rather than using one university-wide engineering deadline.

Selected programme examples

  1. Master of Science in Computer Science
  2. Master of Science in Computing

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Computing admission evaluates bachelor's-level academic preparation and research potential.
  • Its application includes transcripts, a statement of purpose and three recommendations, with GRE scores optional.
  • ECE separately describes a 3.0 GPA admission baseline and welcomes allied STEM backgrounds; any deficiency or exception is decided by its committee.
  • Do not transfer ECE's alternative-entry arrangements automatically to Kahlert's computing degrees.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Computing directs international applicants to the university's current English-evidence rules.
  • ECE lists IELTS 6.5 and requires applicants seeking an exemption to request a waiver after applying.
  • Meeting a published minimum does not guarantee admission or eligibility for a teaching appointment; confirm the current test version and programme requirements.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Kahlert's graduate computing intake is fall only.
  • ECE lists spring and fall 2027 master's admission, with earlier international deadlines than domestic deadlines.
  • A spring ECE application window does not imply that the computing MS accepts spring entrants.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • Kahlert explicitly lists December 15, 2026 for fall 2027 applications.
  • ECE lists March 1, 2027 for international fall 2027 master's applicants.
  • Its October 1, 2026 international spring 2027 deadline had already passed at review; the later December domestic deadline should not be offered to a new overseas applicant.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Utah's official 2026–27 graduate cost-of-attendance engineering-group estimate lists non-resident tuition and fees of USD 35,346 for fall and spring combined, based on average full-time charges.
  • This is an official planning estimate, not a course-specific bill or total master's cost.
  • Housing, food, insurance and personal expenses are separate, and exact enrolled engineering courses can alter charges.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • ECE says master's assistantships are very limited and competitive and specifically advises applicants not to rely on one to cover expenses.
  • Teaching-assistant training is a separate condition.
  • Utah's tuition-benefit and regional programmes have eligibility rules; a regional tuition arrangement should not be assumed available to every Indian applicant.
