Program Overview

Introduction to the Global Masters in Engineering Program

The Global Masters in Engineering program is an articulated agreement between the University of Denver's (DU) Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science, a key partner institution, and the DU Office of Internationalization. This program allows students to complete their undergraduate degree at DU and then enter a master's degree program at the partner institution.

Program Structure

The Global Masters model consists of the first three years of undergraduate study at DU, followed by one year of study abroad at the partner institution, which constitutes the fourth year of study at DU. Upon completion of the study abroad year, students will graduate from the University of Denver with a bachelor's degree. The fifth and final year of study will take place at the partner institution, where students will be full-time students and, upon completion, will be awarded a master's degree by the partner institution.

Eligibility and Admission Criteria

To be eligible for the Global Masters program, students must:

• Be majoring in the Global Masters Program's subject area at the University of Denver
• Apply and be approved through the DU department or unit
• Meet all of the Office of International Education's admissions requirements and deadlines
• Have a minimum 3.0 overall GPA at the time of application for the Global Masters program with the DU department or unit, and maintain this GPA through the degree program after application submission
  • Deadlines are typically in the Fall, as established by the department or unit
• A minimum 3.5 GPA in the major is recommended by the Office of Internationalization; however, the DU department or unit, in collaboration with the partner university, will establish the GPA requirement if it is higher than 3.0

General Guidelines

These guidelines are general for Global Masters Scholars at the University of Denver. It is recommended to consult with the individual DU academic department for specific requirements. Students enrolled at DU may opt into the Global Masters programs if they meet their department's eligibility requirements, DU's study abroad and exchange requirements, and any additional requirements determined for a specific Global Masters program. During the one-year study abroad, students will follow all Office of International Education policies and apply for Cherrington Global Scholars benefits if applicable.
