Graduate Admissions Office:

• One copy of official transcripts from all your undergraduate and/or graduate institution. For students who graduated from OSU, it is not necessary to send transcripts from OSU; however, you must send transcripts from any other institution you attended even if you have sent these to OSU in the past.

• Official GRE and TOEFL scores, if required; international students who do not have a degree from a U.S. institution are required to take the TOEFL examination. The following students must submit GRE scores:
  

  1. All students seeking a University Fellowship
  2. International students who do not have a degree from a U.S. institution
  
  

  Note that the GRE Writing scores are required for fellowship consideration, so older exams that did not have a writing component cannot be used. Also, if GRE and/or TOEFL scores are required, they must be received directly from ETS (Educational Testing Services) prior to the Graduate Studies Committee review. Self reported GRE and TOEFL scores are not accepted. 

• The materials for the Graduate Admissions Office should be sent to:
  
  Graduate Admissions
  The Ohio State University
  Third Floor Lincoln Tower
  1800 Cannon Drive
  Columbus, OH 43210 USA
  

Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Program:

• Three letters of recommendation. The letters of recommendation must be on official letterhead, signed and mailed to us directly by the recommender in a sealed envelope. Recommendation letters on plain paper are not accepted. Each letter must be attached to an official Graduate School Reference Form completed by the recommender and accessible at https://www.applyweb.com/apply/osu/pdf/gen_iref.pdf. Letters without the attached Graduate Reference Form are not accepted.

• Statement of Purpose. This essay should be an autobiographical sketch that includes your higher education, any awards and honoraries, area of specialization (exp. Computer, Electromagnetics, Control, etc.), what spurred your interest in electrical engineering, your plans upon receiving your degree (in the case of a Master's student we would like to know if this is the ultimate goal or if there are plans to pursue a Ph.D.)

• One copy of official transcripts from your undergraduate and/or graduate institution. For students who graduated from OSU, it is not necessary to send transcripts from OSU; however, you must send transcripts from any other institution you attended even if you have sent these to OSU in the past.

• One copy of official GRE/TOEFL scores, if required. Note that this is a copy since the official one goes to admissions.

• Applicants must submit a one- or two-page resume (Educational information should include the name of the institution, the dates attended and the grade point average [GPA])
