A Passion for Technology and Innovation
The MSTC program is looking for applicants who can demonstrate excellence throughout the admissions process, including a passion for technology and innovation, leadership skills, and the ability to work on a team. Recognizing that no single factor is fully indicative of an applicant’s potential to succeed in the program, the admissions committee has chosen to employ a holistic application review; there are no specific test score or GPA minimums, nor is any single undergraduate major considered preferable to another. We evaluate your fit with the program as a whole.
