<p>MomfromKC,</p>
<p>To get a M.S./M.Eng in engineering with a B.A./B.S. in a math/science field depends on the following:</p>
<p>1) How similar are academic areas of the bachelor and master programs
2) How many of the “core engineering” courses was taken within the bachelor degree
3) Prior work experience (sometimes)
4) Does the graduate school have a “hard requirement” applicants having engineering degrees?</p>
<p>Something like B.S. Math to M.S. Industrial/Systems Engineering or B.S. Math to Software Engineering may be easier to do because of the overlap in courses as opposed to B.S. Chemistry to M.S. Chemical Engineering. A physics major with an emphasis in nuclear physics may have a smoother transition into a M.S. nuclear engineering program than a mechanical graduate engineering program.</p>
<p>Also there a few schools who REQUIRE that the undergraduate degree is in engineering. Some other schools (top schools too) will definitely admin non-engineering math/science grads.</p>
