Who Should Apply
Every M.Eng. program seeks to admit students who are prepared to succeed academically, who understand and embrace the mission of the M.Eng. program, and who demonstrate the potential to flourish in a professional work environment through their problem solving, communication, collaboration and teamwork, leadership, maturity and self-awareness, endurance, and resilience.
Cornell University has a long-standing reputation as a premier global institution of higher learning that embraces Ezra Cornell’s founding principle of “…any person…any study.” Our M.Eng. programs seek a wide range of different approaches, points of view, skill sets, regional knowledge, understanding of professional work cultures, and lessons learned. Where prompted in their application materials, applicants are encouraged to share their unique experiences and interactions, including successes, failures, conflicts, collaborations, and other journeys of self-discovery.
