Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or a closely related field from an ABET‑accredited or equivalent program.
If your background is non‑engineering, consider BU’s LEAP program, requiring at least a B grade in Calculus I beforehand.
A competitive undergraduate GPA (on a 4.0 scale) is expected—around 3.0+, with stronger applicants closer to 3.8–4.0.
Subject prerequisites commonly include: Calculus (minimum level I, B or above), Probability & statistics, Linear algebra, Intro to dynamic systems/control, Programming basics, Engineering fundamentals like optimization and systems modeling.
