Policies

The degree program must be completed with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0/4.3 or higher.

All 45 units for the MS&E MS degree must be completed at Stanford. A maximum of 18 non-degree option (NDO) units taken before admission to a Stanford graduate program through the Stanford Engineering Center for Global Online Education (CGOE) may apply toward the degree.

1. Students are expected to have previously completed multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and computer programming courses. Otherwise, those courses must be taken in addition to the degree requirements.

2. Students may count a maximum of four directed or individual study units toward the letter-grade requirement.

3. A maximum of three units of 1-unit courses may apply toward the degree, such as seminar, colloquia, workshop, and activity, in any department, including MS&E 208A, B, C, and D Practical Training, and MS&E 208E Part-Time Practical Training.

After accepting admission to this coterminal master’s degree program, students may request transfer of courses from the undergraduate to the graduate career to satisfy requirements for the master’s degree. Transfer of courses to the graduate career requires review and approval of both the undergraduate and graduate programs on a case by case basis.

In this master’s program, courses taken during or after the first quarter of the sophomore year are eligible for consideration for transfer to the graduate career; the timing of the first graduate quarter is not a factor. No courses taken prior to the first quarter of the sophomore year may be used to meet master’s degree requirements.

Course transfers are not possible after the bachelor’s degree has been conferred.
