The Master of Science (MS) degree in Robotics at the University of Utah offers a project, thesis, or "mixed" option (any combination of project-intensive courses, project, or internship credits). A Robotics Master's degree will provide knowledge for integrating hardware and software with algorithms to create the next generation of intelligent machines.

NOTE to current University of Utah students: The College of Engineering BS/MS option is NOT available for the Robotics MS at this time.

Robotics researchers are employed in a wide range of occupations that are creating the next generation of technological devices. Roboticists create assistive robots [prosthetics, wearable robots], autonomous vehicles [cars, mining equipment, underwater, and aerial], automated warehouses, manufacturing systems, medical devices, and consumer products [vacuums, 3d printers, craft machines].

Admissions requirements are as follows:

Students pursuing a Robotics Master’s degree typically have a bachelor's degree in a STEM related area. Applicants with degrees from other areas will be considered, but students may need to complete additional work (e.g., math, physics, programming, etc.) to be prepared to take robotics courses.
Graduate degree applications will be considered holistically. Admitted students typically have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.2 (the university requires a 3.0), but students with lower GPA's are encouraged to apply and explain their individual circumstances in their personal statement.
GRE scores are currently not required, but may be considered if they will strengthen the student's application and are strongly recommended as another way to demonstrate English proficiency and academic preparation.
General GRE Test Scores must be submitted to the University of Utah directly from Educational Testing Services (ETS)
Send scores using Institution Code 4853 (U Utah). A Department Code is not necessary for the Robotics application.
Photocopies, student copies, and screen shots will not be accepted
GRE results must be less than five years old at the time of admission
International students must also meet University of Utah English proficiency requirement for admission

Applicants should provide:

Names and emails of three people that will provide recommendation letters.
A resume or curriculum vitae.
1-2 page personal statement.
Optional technical writing sample (recommended for master's thesis applicants)
Transcripts from all institutions attended (unofficial for the application, but official transcripts are required prior to enrollment if admitted).
Application fee ($55 Domestic MS, $65 International MS).

These are minimum requirements and do not guarantee admission. The graduate admissions committee reviews all aspects of the application package before determining acceptance into the Robotics graduate program. Selected applicants will be admitted to the Master’s Project option by default. Students who wish to pursue the Master’s Thesis option should identify and be admitted by a faculty advisor that will advise their research. We DO NOT ASSIGN faculty advisors for thesis-seeking students, so students are encouraged to make these connections quickly. Students must be admitted to the Graduate School of the University of Utah as well as the Robotics graduate program.
