NYIT Graduate Engineering Partnerships

SUNY Old Westbury and New York Institute of Technology are engaged in a collaborative agreement to support the entry of Old Westbury graduates into NYIT’s M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering programs. 

Under this agreement, qualified SUNY Old Westbury graduates will be offered acceptance to one of NYIT's engineering programs, if they meet the following requirements: 

NOTE: If SUNY OW students take graduate-level engineering courses at NYIT during their undergraduate studies, up to nine credits of graduate-level courses can be transferred to NYIT MS program.

Required Course Prerequisites

Entry into both programs requires a schedule of prerequisite courses, some of which can be taken at NYIT with the remainder available at Old Westbury. 

  • Entry into the Electrical and Computer Engineering program requires 41 credits from prerequisite courses, nine of which are available specifically at NYIT. 
  • The Mechanical Engineering program requires 34 credits from prerequisite courses, three of which are available specifically at NYIT.

Contact the Department of Chemistry & Physics for guidance and information on prerequisites and other program requirements and additional information.
