Applicants need a relevant four-year bachelor's (e.g., Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry) with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0. While strong GPAs are expected, Northwestern considers the institution’s rigor.
Subject Prerequisites
Solid foundation in core engineering areas—Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluids, Controls, Design/Manufacturing, Mathematics or Sciences—is recommended. Prior coursework in dynamics, control theory, CAD, and materials/mechanics strengthens your profile.
