Apply online through Apply Yourself*. You have not officially applied until the Graduate School receives your check.

For international students we need the electronic application, two official transcripts, three references, and a statement of career goals. In addition, you must submit TOEFL and GRE scores for admission into the MAE Graduate program. Your check and transcripts must be sent to the Graduate School or you may use a credit card to pay for your application fee. The recommendations are sent to the Director of Graduate Programs in the MAE Department. Your TOEFL and GRE scores are sent directly from the testing service to our university.
