Engineering Admissions

Start Your Admissions Journey For Engineering

Are you a UConn student — not currently enrolled in the School of Engineering — looking to apply into the School of Engineering? A current School of Engineering student looking to apply for a major change within the school?

Admission is based on space availability in the desired major and your academic performance as indicated by your cumulative grade point average (cGPA). Your application will be reviewed in comparison to others who apply, to your targeted major, in the same semester as you.

Applications are only accepted online. The site is: request.engr.uconn.edu. Applications are only reviewed twice a year – in January and June.

Application

  • Apply to the School of Engineering from a different school or college within the University
  • Apply to change your current Engineering major to a different one within the School of Engineering
  • Apply for admission to the Management and Engineering for Manufacturing (MEM) Program (dually conferred degree of the School of Engineering and School of Business). 

Apply for School of Engineering Major(s)

If your application is denied — and you have additional questions — you are welcome to contact the Undergraduate Office directly to inquire. Admission into any SoE program is competitive. Space constrained majors (Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering) are most competitive for admission. Decisions are based on GPA and engineering-related coursework, and you will be evaluated against all of the other students who applied to the same major during the same review period as your submission.

To be considered:

  • for spring admission, you must enter your application in the request system by December 25th. 
  • for fall admission, you must enter your application in the request system by May 25th. 

You will be notified of your admission status through your UConn email address. You may only have one active application in our PPC system at a time, but you can reapply for future admissions reviews if originally denied admissions to your desired major. You are able to include a first and second choice major request in one application.
