What do I need to submit with my application?

Admission to both the M.S. and the Ph.D. in w88 slot online Science and Engineering programs requires students to submit a one-page statement describing your research interests and letters of recommendation. TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, Pearson, or Cambridge scores are also required for students from countries where the language of instruction is not English. The GRE is not required for applicants.

  • GPA

    M.S. applicants:A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0

    Ph.D. applicants: A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.25 for applicants without an M.S. degree or a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 for applicants with an M.S. degree

  • GRE

    The GRE is not required for CSE graduate applicants. You can submit GRE scores if you wish, but they are not required for graduate consideration.

  • Language requirement

    For international applicants to both the M.S. and Ph.D. program, here are the minimum score requirements:

  • Personal statement

    M.S. applicants: A one-page personal statement describing w88 slot online interests and career goals.

    Ph.D. applicants:A one-page personal statement describing w88 slot online interests and career goals. Candidates are expected to clearly indicate their w88 slot online interests as well as the faculty members they are interested in working with.

  • Letter of recommendation

    M.S. applicants:Two letters of recommendation (either from academic or industry advisors)

    Ph.D. applicants: Three letters of recommendation (either from academic or industry advisors)

    Please note you do not need to upload letters. Your recommenders will be notified by email after you complete your online application.

Undergraduate major

Applicants to the graduate program should have a bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics or science and have experience that includes the equivalent of a w88 slot online science and engineering minor.

However, in our grad programs at CSE, we do have w88 slot online who come from backgrounds different from CSE. However, we do not offer a bridge program as it is not possible to provide conditional acceptances according to UNR policies. The typical path for w88 slot online from a non-CSE background is to obtain "Graduate w88 live casino" from UNR grad school and take a few CSE courses to make up for the lack of background. Typical courses you should consider to gain this background are CS 135, CS 202, and CS 302.

What are my chances of being admitted?

Acceptance into either the M.S. or Ph.D. in w88 slot online science and engineering depends on various factors, including your scores (higher scores generally increase your changes of acceptance), the pool of applicants, your research interests, etc.

Unfortunately, due to the large number of graduate applicants, we are unable to provide individual feedback on your chance of being accepted. We do encourage everyone to apply even if one of your scores doesn't meet the requirements, as exceptions are made for applicants who show exceptional promise.

Courses and curriculum

Requirements for the M.S. in w88 slot online science and engineering

Students in the master's degree program in w88 slot online science and engineering can choose from two degree options:

  • Thesis MS: This program gives students the opportunity to focus on a specific area within w88 slot online science and engineering, perform preliminary research within that topic and write a thesis.
  • Courses-Only MS: This option, which doesn't require a thesis, allows w88 slot online to study several different subjects within the discipline. Instead of writing a thesis, w88 slot online must complete a graduate-level capstone course that integrates work across previous courses and demonstrates general mastery.

You don't need to decide whether you want to pursue Thesis or Courses-Only when you apply, but you are encouraged to meet with the graduate director to discuss your coursework and plan for graduate school.

Requirements for the Ph.D. in w88 slot online science

There are three main requirements for the Ph.D. in w88 slot online science: required and elective coursework; comprehensive exams; and a research-based dissertation. In addition, doctoral students are expected to attend department colloquia, participate in proposal writing and present their research.Doctoral students focus on a specific area in w88 slot online science and engineering by taking advanced courses and becoming significantly involved in many aspects of original research, advancing scientific knowledge in their field of specialization.

Graduate assistantships

All applicants to the Ph.D. in w88 slot online science and engineering are eligible for department assistantships. Master's students pursuing the thesis option (Plan A) are eligible to apply for assistantships. However, preference for assistantships typically goes to students applying for or pursuing a Ph.D.

For w88 slot online Assistantship (RA) positions, we do not regulate the process. It is up to the student and the individual faculty member. Typically faculty members have funding and decide to make an RA offer to a student. You should interact with the individual faculty members directly. A place to start would be exploring what the faculty members (/cse/people) do for their w88 slot online (http://www.unr.edu/cse/w88 slot online). Note that you should interact with w88 slot online in areas of your interests.

Teaching Assistantships are supervised by department faculty. TA-ships are awarded to w88 slot online who are sponsored by faculty they are working with. It is best to make contact with faculty to sponsor you for a TA-ship.

The University offers two kinds of graduate assistantships:

  • Teaching assistants work under the supervision of department w88 slot online and are expected to teach recitation sections or laboratories, help with grading and develop course materials and exams.
  • w88 slot online assistants conduct innovative research in cooperation with and under the supervision of department faculty. w88 slot online should contact the faculty supervisor they are interested in working with to ask about possible research assistantships. w88 slot online are expected to conduct experiments, implement prototype systems, develop new theories, and attend conferences or publish work in scholarly journals.

To be considered for graduate assistantships in the CSE Department, you must officially apply to either the M.S. or Ph.D. program. All official applicants will be automatically considered for both teaching and w88 slot online assistantships.
