Failure to attain a 2.00 GPA in the required time period may be considered grounds for dismissal from the engineering program.

Prior training in drawing or sketching, while desirable, is not required. Tuskegee seeks students who have strong willingness to think, study, and work, and who desire to perceive life and create good environments for people.

All freshman applicants must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test and have their scores reported to Tuskegee University before admission can be given. American College Test (ACT) results are also acceptable. High school graduates should have earned credit of 15 units of work which include:
