Admission Requirements
All applicants must possess a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree or an undergraduate engineering degree, which shall include at least:
1. 3 semester hours (1 course) of general chemistry
2. Mathematics courses through differential equations
3. A total of 12 semester hours (4 courses) of science, which could include biology, chemistry, or physics.
A completed application form and $50 application fee (completed online at the Loyola Marymount University Graduate Division). Admission into the program is in strict conformity with the requirements for all graduate students set forth by the LMU Graduate Division. Upon review of the student’s undergraduate and professional preparation, additional admission requirements may be set by the Mechanical Engineering Department. Students applying for the combined B.S./M.S. degrees must apply in the Fall semester of their senior year, indicating the “Combined B.S. and M.S.” on their application form.

Program Requirements
Requirements for Master of Science in Engineering Degree, major in Mechanical Engineering (30 semester hours)
The candidate for the Master of Science in Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Complete MECH 504, Engineering Mathematics
2. Complete 27 semester hours (9 courses) from the courses listed within one of the two focus tracks below.
At least 3 semester hours (1 course) must be at the 600 level. Design, Manufacturing, and Materials
Energy, Fluids, and Thermal Systems
3. At least 6 semester hours (2 courses) must be at the 600 level.
A maximum of one elective course in another engineering department may be taken with the consent of the Graduate Program Director. The Thesis Option (MECH 686 ) may be chosen to satisfy up to 6 semester hours of these elective course requirements (see below). 4. Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (“B”) for all coursework
Achieve a grade of “B” or better in all 500 level courses. 5. A maximum of three courses (9 semester hours) may be taken in any given semester
6. Thesis Option
With the consent of the Department, the student may elect a thesis. The thesis will satisfy 6 semester hours of the elective mechanical engineering course work requirements. The student may enroll for a maximum of 3 semester hours of Master’s Thesis in any given semester (MECH 686 ). The student electing the thesis option must obtain a thesis advisor before Departmental consent will be considered. Formal thesis requirements must be obtained from the Graduate Program Director. Requirements for the Combined B.S./M.S. Degrees, major in Mechanical Engineering
(27 semester hours)
Only LMU Seniors in Mechanical Engineering with a GPA of 3.0 or greater
are eligible to apply for the combined degree program. The student must
apply for admission before the end of the Fall semester of the senior
year. The candidate for the Combined B.S./M.S. in Engineering degree in
Mechanical Engineering must satisfy the following requirements:
- In addition to the undergraduate B.S. degree requirements, an admitted student must enroll in one additional 500-level mechanical engineering course during the Spring semester of the senior year.
- The student must take one 500- or 600-level course during each Summer Session (for a total of two courses) immediately following the senior year. Three courses per semester must be taken during the first year of the program.
- Complete MECH 504 , Engineering Mathematics.
- At least 3 semester hours (1 course) must be at the 600 level.
- Complete 3 semester hours of the research project course (MECH 685). The student must obtain a project advisor before Departmental consent will be granted. Formal requirements must be obtained from the Graduate Program Director.
- The student cannot enroll in the Thesis Option or retake any 500-level courses already completed from the undergraduate degree.
