Admission to the Graduate Program in Engineering Mechanics
The application for admission is to be made through the Graduate
College of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The applications for graduate
study in Engineering Mechanics are reviewed by the departmental Admission
Committee. We especially encourage applications
from students who are traditionally underrepresented in Engineering
Mechanics.

Studies pages for Prospective Students:
UNL Admissions Information and Application Forms . Only the online
application form is acceptable.
In addition to the documentation requirements listed at the Graduate
Studies web pages, our department requires three letters of recommendation.
These should be sent to:

Director, Graduate Programs
Dept. of Engineering Mechanics
University of Nebraska - Lincoln
W317.4 Nebraska Hall
Lincoln, NE 68588-0526
The general requirements for admission are as follows:
Master of Science (M.S.):
Candidates for this degree must
-
be graduates of an accredited undergraduate program in an Engineering Mechanics
or a related field (such as Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, etc.),
-
have at least a 3.0 grade point average on undergraduate work (3.0 out
of a maximum 4.0), and
-
have sufficient background in Mechanics and Mathematics to take classes
in Advanced Dynamics and Advanced Mechanics of Materials.
-
Foreign applicants must have a TOEFL score of at least 550, or at least
213 for the computer-based TOEFL.
Candidates with marginal qualifications may improve their chances of admission
by submitting high Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. Submission
of GRE scores is strongly recommended for graduates of foreign universities,
graduates of non-accredited engineering programs, or applicants seeking
financial support.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.):
Candidates for this degree must
-
have an M.S. degree or have substantially completed the requirements for
an M.S. degree from a recognized engineering school in Engineering Mechanics
or a related field (such as Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, etc.),
-
have at least a 3.0 grade point average (3.0 out of a maximum 4.0) for
all graduate level course work, and must have sufficient background in
Mechanics and Mathematics to take classes in Continuum Mechanics, Advanced
Dynamics, and Fluid Mechanics.
-
Foreign applicants must have a TOEFL score of at least 550, or at least
213 for the computer-based TOEFL.
Candidates with marginal qualifications may improve their chances of admission
by submitting high Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. Submission
