Admission & Advising

• GPA is 3.25 or above
• GRE general scores in the upper 25%(verbal, quantitative and analytical)
• TOEFL score of 550 or higher
• Three letters of recommendation
• Statement of purpose

If you have already applied on-line DO NOT apply again and do not update anything on your on-line application after you have submitted it.  WHY?  The graduate college system will bill you another $50. A $50 application fee will be assessed to you every time you open your on-line application once you have submitted it once.

If you have changes to your on line application, contact Barbara Heefner at heefner@engr.arizona.edu and she will inform the graduate college.

Department Application for an Assistantship/Fellowship

The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering offers Teaching Assistantships to assist faculty in the undergraduate program, Research Assistantships to assist faculty in sponsored research programs, and a variety of Fellowships. The department will consider assistantship applications only after all admission requirements have been met. Any student seeking graduate level support must first be admitted to The University of Arizona before any action concerning an assistantship can be initiated.

Print and fill out the APPLICATION FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP OR ASSISTANTSHIP form. Send it to:

Print three LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION forms. Give one each along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope, to three references, who should return it to the department at the above address.

The three Letters of Recommendation along with the APPLICATION FOR GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP OR ASSISTANTSHIP are required for your application even if you are not applying for financial aid.

Full Department Application Packet

It is recommended that if you require funding, your application should be received by December 1 for fall semester consideration and by June 1 for spring semester. Late applications will be reviewed on the basis of funds remaining. NOTE: Few new openings are available for spring semesters. Because there may be some delays in the evaluation process, it is recommended that students seeking assistantships submit their applications for admission well in advance of the deadlines.

An assistantship/fellowship application will be evaluated on the basis of the department's estimate of the applicant's aptitude for graduate study. The following materials must be received by the department before the application can be considered:

1. Complete original transcripts of all college study
2. Three letters of recommendation on the applicant's behalf
3. Graduate Record Examination scores
4. Descriptions of professional experience in teaching and research
5. For an applicant whose native language is not English, a TOEFL score of 550, and if they want to be considered for a Teaching Assistantship, a score of 50 (out of 60) or better on the Test of Spoken English (TSE; offered in conjunction with the TOEFL)

Successful candidates are usually notified before May for the fall semester and before December for the spring semester. If you do not hear from us, you have not been awarded an assistantship.
