Undergraduate students may begin an engineering graduate program while still completing their undergraduate program.  Application is normally made in the student's junior year. Under no circumstances will a student

be permitted to "submatriculate" after the end of the seventh semester.

The submatriculant may take up to three graduate courses to fulfill both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements while registered as an undergraduate student.

Only candidates for the BSE degree may apply for submatriculation into Penn Engineering Master of Science in

Engineering (MSE) programs. BAS students may submatriculate into the Master of Biotechnology Program. Penn Engineering students are not allowed to submatriculate into the MCIT program.

To apply for submatriculation, submit an application via Penn's Online application system. Please note the various application deadlines that are associated with each graduate program.

The GRE is not required for those applying to submatriculate. However, students are strongly encouraged to take the GRE, especially those who have interests in continuing for the Ph.D.

A minimum gpa of 3.0 is required in order to apply for submatriculation.

All applications must be approved for admission prior to the end of the seventh semester of undergraduate study.

After receiving an offer of admission to submatriculate, immediately complete a Submatriculation Petition for Action form and submit it to the Office of Academic Programs, 111 Towne.
