Freshmen Applicants

For admission into one of the School of Engineering's degree programs, a student must meet both of the following criteria:

  • 24 or higher on the Math portion of the ACT (or SAT equivalent)
  • Minimum high school GPA of 3.0

Freshmen applicants who do not meet the admissions criteria for the School of Engineering can qualify to change their major by applying for and successfully completing the School of Engineering Summer Bridge program prior to the fall of their freshman year.

Change of Major Applicants and Transfer Applicants

For a current UM student or a transfer student from another domestic institution to declare a major within the School of Engineering, the student must have a cumulative collegiate GPA of 2.25 or higher on a minimum of 12 hours on a quality grade scale AND meet one of the following:

  • 24 or higher on the Math portion of the ACT (or SAT equivalent)
  • 76 or higher on the ALEKS PPL Placement Assessment
  • B or higher in MATH 125 (or in both MATH 121 and 123), or a higher mathematics course.

International Applicants

Upon admission to the University in accordance with International Programs requirements, admission to the School of Engineering has an additional component.  Though an ACT or SAT score is not required for admission for students who were educated outside the US, international students who intend to seek a degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, and other physical science disciplines that require registration in Calculus 1 (Math 261) in their freshman year, must meet either of the following requirements:

  • Cambridge O Level International Examination (Math) or equivalent with a passing grade of C or higher, or minimum ACT Mathematics score of 24 (or SAT equivalent)
  • 76 or higher on the ALEKS PPL Placement Assessment.
