Entry requirements for Northeastern University

In order to be minimally qualified to pursue admission through the Graduate School of Engineering, a candidate must have successfully completed or is in the process of completing an undergraduate bachelors degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, or its equivalent from a foreign college or university. Any offer of admission is contingent upon a candidate’s successful completion of an undergraduate bachelors degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, or its equivalent from a foreign college or university.
Completed online application form. (Paper applications are not accepted.)
Application fee of USD $75 to be paid online by credit card, electronic check, or by money order.
Two confidential letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with technical, professional, and personal qualifications submitted through the online application system.
Transcripts. Applicants should (a) acquire official or unofficial copies of their transcripts from each college or university that they have attended.

Because applicants are not interviewed to assess their English proficiency, taking the TOEFL or IELTS exam and submitting official scores as part of the admissions process is required of most applicants who are non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. permanent residents.
For most programs, the GRE is required, except for applicants who have received or will receive a bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program from a college or university that is located within the U.S.

The required minimum TOEFL score is 79 (internet-based), 550 (paper-based), and 213 (computer-based). The required minimum IELTS score is 6.5.
