How to Apply

Thank you for your interest in the graduate program in Materials Science and Engineering at Oklahoma State University. Here is some information we hope will help you with the application process.

Welcome, Prospective Graduate Students!

If you have any questions, please contact the Program Coordinator, Dr. Ranji Vaidyanathan.

How to Apply

Apply to the graduate program through the OSU Graduate College website.

We require that you provide the following for completing the graduate application process:

Completed application
Academic transcripts
Three recommendation letters
Statement of Purpose clearly indicating the area of interest you are interested in pursuing as well as whichfaculty member(s) you are interested in working with(preferred maximum one page) based on faculty interests listed on theMSE website.
Resume (preferred maximum of 2 pages)
If you are an international student, the following is also required in addition to the above material.
1. TOEFL or IELTS – the Graduate College requires a minimum score of 79 (internet based test) or 550 (paper-based test) in TOEFL or overall band score of 6.5 or higher in IELTS. However, if you want to be considered for a teaching or research assistantship, a score of 26 or higher on the speaking section of the TOEFL, or 8.5 or higher on the speaking portion of the IELTS is required. If your scores are lower than that, you will have to take the graduate college administered International Teaching Assistant English test in order to be officially allowed to work as a graduate teaching assistant.
2. GRE general test – there are no specific score requirements and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. As a general guideline, current graduate students have obtained a score of 305 or higher in verbal and math together, and an analytical writing score of 2.5 or higher.

To expedite the processing of your application, we would recommend that specific accomplishments be highlighted in bulleted format in your resume sent directly to the graduate program coordinator in Materials Science and Engineering. No other copies of project reports or awards and certificates are required.
