Schools Engineering Graduate School Acceptance for Math Majors?

AI Thread Summary
Completing a math major but lacking enough credits for graduation raises concerns about transitioning to engineering graduate school. While engineering programs may accept math majors, candidates often need to take additional undergraduate engineering courses to meet prerequisites. Engaging with engineering professors and participating in relevant research can enhance prospects. Seeking advice from an academic advisor is crucial, and important questions to consider include the necessary coursework for admission and potential research opportunities that align with engineering interests.

hey, so I am going to be done with all the requirements of a math major by the end of this term and have another year left. I can't graduate cause I don't have enough credits. I don't think I want to go to graduate school for math and am considering going to graduate school for engineering.

now will I be ok? will i even be considered? I have done some physics but no engineering courses. Should I spend the next year on engineering courses?

basic question is will an engineering graduate school accept a math major in their program? I mean I looked into law school and they don't care what your background is, everyone starts fresh. but is it the same with engineering?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Engineering grad schools definitely take on math majors. It may not be as easy to get accepted, I have no idea, and you will probably have to take undergrad courses wherever you go. You should talk to some engineering professors at your school to see what you should do. Maybe take a few engineering courses and try to get involved with a professor who does analytical or computation research.
 
I am meeting an advisor later this week. any important questions I should ask?
 

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
