Bachelor of Science from an accredited institution. Preference is given to students with a background in any Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics field. Minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 on a four-point scale. Applicants who do not meet the minimum GPA requirements may receive admission. Admission in such cases depends heavily on other indices of the student’s ability to handle graduate-level work. These might include a strong performance GPA in the major and/or other experiences indicative of strong academic ability. Applicants with a three-year bachelor’s degree from an institution outside of the US may be eligible for admission at the University of Michigan-Flint if it is determined through the credential review process that the three-year degree completed is equivalent to a US bachelor’s degree.
