Master’s Program
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers several options for the Master of Science degree. Students may pursue a traditional Mechanical Engineering degree (with a thesis or non-thesis option) or specialize in Sustainable Energy. The department is also a member of the Interdisciplinary Materials Science Program through which students can earn a master’s degree in Material Science. Additionally, highly-qualified and current undergraduate students may apply to the joint BS/MS Pathway to begin taking graduate classes during their junior and senior year.
Admissions
Prospective students must have a BS degree (or a recognized equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or any one of the following related fields: Any Engineering Major, Chemistry, Computer Science, Material Science, Mathematics/Applied Mathematics or Physics/Applied Physics. Non-majors, students without a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, may be required to take up to twelve credit hours of remedial coursework in Mechanical Engineering as a condition of admission.
Applicants must have at least a 3.0 upper-division GPA, a GRE Verbal score of at least 150, and a GRE Quantitative score of at least 155 (or a minimum combined GRE General Test score of 1150). International students must take the TOEFL exam and score at least 550 on the paper-based exam, 213 on the computer-based exam, or 80 on the Internet-based exam. Applicants must also submit a personal statement, resume, and three letters of recommendation. Please visit the department Web site for additional details (https://www.eng.famu.fsu.edu/me).
