AdmissionsApplications for admission and related deadlines are available on the School of Engineering website. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTSCertificate Programs
Please note that all applicants with degrees from universities outside of the United States must also submit a transcript evaluation report from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)-accredited institution. The report must include a course by course evaluation which will verify a GPA (based on a 4.0 scale), and the U.S. equivalence of each educational credential. For additional information, please refer to the NACES website . (There is no exception to this requirement.) Also please note that GRE and TOEFL are not required for admission. Certificate programs are not appropriate for international students, who must pursue full-time study. All certificate units in the discipline may be applied toward a master’s degree. Students who wish to pursue such a degree must submit a separate online application and satisfy all normal admission requirements. The application fee will be waived for currently enrolled certificate students. The general GRE and TOEFL test requirement for graduate admission to the master’s degree will be waived for students who complete a certificate with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Please Note: Santa Clara University does not issue F-1 visas to applicants who wish to enter directly into this program. Master of Science Degrees
Please Note: Students applying to the M.S. program in Applied Mathematics or in Computer, Mechanical, or Software Engineering may petition to waive the GRE requirement by completing the Petition to Waive GRE Requirement form. However, applicants must be aware that there is no guarantee that the waiver will be granted. That decision is at the discretion of the department chair and is final. The form may be found on the Graduate Engineering website. This option is also available to applicants for the Engineering Management Program who have two or more years of working experience in the U.S. These students will also complete the Petition to Waive GRE Requirement form, as indicated above. International applicants for admission to the master’s programs must submit the following materials:

Please Note: International students requiring an F-1 student visa must submit financial statements showing adequate funds for tuition, fees, and living expenses for the entire program. Accepted students will be mailed an I-20 Request Form with their acceptance letter. This form and the financial documents must be returned to the Engineering Graduate Programs Admissions Office no earlier than 90 days before classes begin. Ph.D. and Engineer’s Degrees Domestic applicants must submit the following materials:

ADMISSION DEFERRALSAny student who has been admitted to a degree program and wishes to defer that admission must submit a request, in writing, to the Engineering Graduate Programs Admissions Office prior to the beginning of the quarter. OPEN UNIVERSITYFor those who want to update their skills and learn new technologies without the commitment of earning a graduate degree, Open University allows students to enroll in graduate-level classes. Individuals who have applied to a degree program can get a head start by enrolling in classes while they wait for admission to a degree program. For admission, applicants must submit the following materials:
*Please Note: All applicants with degrees from universities outside of the United States must also submit a transcript evaluation report from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES)-accredited institution. The report must include a course by course evaluation which verify a GPA (based on a 4.0 scale), and the U.S. equivalence of each educational credential. For additional information, please refer to the NACES website: (There is no exception to this requirement.) If students wish to apply to a degree program at a later date, they must follow the same procedure, and submit the same supporting documentation required of degree-seeking applicants, except that the application fee is waived. A maximum of 16 units may apply toward the degree if the courses are in the same discipline to which the student is accepted. The general GRE test requirement for admission to the master’s degree program will be waived if the student has completed a set of required courses in the department to which they are applying, and has earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher. A list of these courses can be found on the Graduate Engineering website. Please Note: Santa Clara University does not issue F-1 visas to applicants who wish to enter directly into this program. Please Note: Open University students are not eligible to enroll in undergraduate classes. READMISSIONAn application for readmission is required of students whose enrollment in the School of Engineering lapses for three consecutive quarters. Applicants for readmission must submit transcripts of the latest graduate work completed in other university programs, together with official transcripts of study completed elsewhere since their previous enrollment. After successfully completing advanced degree requirements at Santa Clara University, a student must reapply if interested in taking graduate engineering courses. None of the courses used to satisfy requirements for the first degree can be applied to any other subsequent degree.Please Note: Students applying to the M.S. program in Applied Mathematics or in Computer, Mechanical, or Software Engineering may petition to waive the GRE requirement by completing the Petition to Waive GRE Requirement form.
