Admission Requirements:
An official GRE score is required for admission. A minimum of 1070 total in the Verbal and Quantitatitve (V+Q) parts of the GRE is used as a guideline, especially in the case of International applicants. In the case of U.S. students with a lower GRE score, an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.8 from an ABET-accredited Engineering program is expected.
International students must also submit an official TOEFL score (minimum of 213 on the computer-based test) in order to qualify for admission.
Areas of Concentration:
The Master of Science in Engineering at Louisiana Tech offers students the opportunity to specialize in certain areas of Engineering by taking a certain number of courses that area and by conducting research leading to a thesis or a practicum in that area. The available areas of concentration and the Coordinators of those areas are as follows.
- Biomedical Engineering. Professor Steve A. Jones Curriculum (PDF)
- Chemical Engineering. Professor James D. Palmer Curriculum (PDF)
- Civil Engineering. Professor Aziz Saber Curriculum (PDF)
- Electrical Engineering. Professor Mickey Cox Curriculum (PDF)
- Industrial Engineering. Professor Jun-Ing Ker Curriculum (PDF)
- Mechanical Engineering. Professor Chad O'Neal Curriculum (PDF)
Additional information about each program area can be obtained by contacting the coordinators named above.
Graduate Assistantships:
The College of Engineering and Science provides a limited number of Graduate Assistantships to MS students. These assistantships are typically awarded by the areas of concentration (see above), and are primarily aimed at meeting the instructional support needs (grading, lab proctoring, etc.) needs of the program.
Research Assistantships are also available to MS students through the Research Centers and individual faculty members with research grants.
