Carnegie Mellon requires TOEFL scores of 102 or better on the internet-based TOEFL (as of Fall 2010) or an IELTS score of 7.5 and above. Carnegie Mellon carefully reviews the sub-scores of each of these exams and considers those candidates with reading, listening, speaking and writing sub-scores of 25 or more on TOEFL and 7.5 or more on IELTS to be candidates with high levels of English proficiency. Carnegie Mellon requires either the SAT Reasoning Test, the new SAT Test, or the ACT Test from every applicant.

With the introduction of its innovative broad and flexible curriculum in 1991, the ECE Department revitalized professional problem solving and design in their proper role in the engineering curriculum. The goal of ECE's curriculum is to create a flexible undergraduate educational experience, comprising: mathematics, science, computer science and statistics; general education (humanities, social sciences and fine arts); written and oral communication; electrical and computer engineering core, breadth, coverage, depth, and capstone design requirements; as well as free electives. By enabling multiple paths through our program, we can accommodate students with different backgrounds, interests, skills and career goals. Within the flexible requirements, the students can customize and configure their programs to meet their objectives and particular career goals. Traditional students can prepare for technological careers in industry, graduate school or the road to management. The more interdisciplinary students can utilize our program as a launching pad for professional careers in business, law, medicine, or public service.
