Admission to the Draper Program is open to persons who hold a bachelor’s degree in any major or professional field from an accredited college or university. No specific undergraduate courses are required as prerequisites. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in undergraduate courses is required. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required. For international students, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is mandatory, with a recommended minimum score of 650 (or 280 on the computerized version).

(Please note that submission of GRE scores is now required of all applicants.  Because of technical and legal limitations, other Draper and GSAS Web pages may still indicate that the GRE is only recommended.  The admissions requirements given in the preceding paragraph are correct and supersede any and all others that may appear elsewhere.)

Applications are accepted on a continuing basis, and students may begin their studies in the fall, spring or summer. Draper deadlines (different from those for the rest of the Graduate School) are July 1 for fall admission, December 1 for spring admission, and April 1 for summer admission.
