To be eligible for the MS in Aerospace Engineering at UC Irvine, applicants should have a bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, or related engineering fields, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0; however, due to competitive admissions, a GPA around 3.3 is typically expected. Strong academic performance in upper-division technical courses is crucial. The GRE is not required for Fall 2025 admissions, but submitting scores is optional and may strengthen your application.
