• Minimum 1-3 years of professional experience is desired

Required Application Materials

The following materials are required as part of the application process:

• Online UW Graduate School Application
• Application fee ($65, paid online)
• Transcripts
  • You will be asked to upload these via the Graduate School Application site
• Statement of Purpose (1 page in length, submitted online)
  • Summarize your academic and professional background and goals, and your reasons for applying to the PMP
  • Mention any particular strengths that may not appear in other application materials, and explain any areas of weakness that may be of concern
  • You should also address your anticipated ability to meet the demands of an evening degree program while working and balancing your other demands/commitments (i.e. family, etc)
• Letters of Recommendation (2 required)
  • Applicants will be asked to provide the current email addresses of recommenders who will then be notified via email to provide their recommendation online. As a part of the process recommenders will also be asked to rate the applicant in areas such as creativity, independent thinking, ability to work as a team, and verbal and written proficiency
  • If possible, at least 1 recommendation should be a professional reference, ideally coming from a current supervisor.  Since students pursuing a graduate degree while working full-time must balance many time commitments and responsibilities, it is important that the admissions committee have an indication of the level of support and flexibility that the applicant's company/supervisor is prepared to offer the student to help facilitate their successful completion of the MSEE
• Résumé or CV
• International applicants:  TOEFL
  • Reference minimum English requirements at Graduate School Memorandum No.8
  • International applicants are those who currently hold or expect temporary U.S. visas, including holders of H1-B, J-1 exchange visitors or any other non-immigrant classifications. U.S. permanent residents (Green Card holders or immigrants) are NOT considered international applicants.

The GRE is not required to apply to the PMP.
