Applicants must hold a four-year bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited university in engineering, computer science, physics, technology, or a closely related field. Indian 3-year bachelor’s degrees are generally not accepted, unless they combined with an additional year and evaluated as equivalent to a U.S. 4-year degree. A minimum GPA of 2.75/4.0 in the last 60 undergraduate credits is required; a GPA around 3.0 or higher is preferred for stronger competitiveness
