How to Apply for Admission to the Graduate Program

The application may not be submitted before September 1 or after December 15 in order to be considered for acceptance for the next school year. Note that the UCLA Electrical Engineering Department accepts applications for the Fall Quarter only.

Applications are available online ONLY. Paper copies are NOT AVAILABLE.

The application process for acceptance to the UCLA Electrical Engineering graduate program is in two parts.

• The first part is to electronically submit the online application, which includes your academic history and the application fee (also paid electronically). Note that the application fee is US $70 for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The application fee is US $90 for international students .
     
  The information you present to the UCLA Graduate Division through this application process is then made available to the Electrical Engineering Department.
     
  The online application comes with complete instructions and further information.
  
  This online application includes all additional forms required by the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Department of Electrical Engineering, with the exception of the Graduate Record Examination scores (which must be supplied to the Department by the Educational Testing Service), and your transcripts, which you send directly to the EE Department.

• The second part of the application process requires you to submit, in hardcopy, transcripts from all academic institutions you attended as an undergraduate (and as a graduate student, if applicable) directly to the UCLA Electrical Engineering Department, to the following address:

  You are also required to make arrangements to have your GRE scores forwarded to the Department. Note that international students will need to also arrange for their TOEFL/IELTS scores to be sent to the Department.
