Am I a Good Fit?

Highly qualified candidates demonstrate a passion for product & service development, innovation, or entrepreneurship.

They are comfortable with ambiguity, want to collaborate with individuals outside of their discipline, learn best in a "learn-by-doing" environment, and wish to continue their education in a flexible, online environment. 

  • Engineering (all types)
  • Design (including fine arts, architecture, UX/UI & HCI)
  • Business (including economics)
  • Communications
  • Psychology 
The ideal candidate will hold a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or equivalent from an accredited institution (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc., Higher Learning Commission, or U.S. Dept. of Education).
Online program applicants typically have eight to ten years of professional experience, however, that is an average and not a requirement for application.

Your Program. Your Pace.

Complete the MIIPS online degree in as quickly as five semesters or extend up to nine semesters. You determine the pace and may change it during your studies — speeding up or slowing down when you need to.

In addition to steps 1 through 2 above, complete the following:

When applying for the MIIPS Online degree, please include your most recent professional resume or curriculum vitae.

When applying for the MIIPS Online degree, please include two professional and/or academic references. Each reference will automatically be emailed a link to submit a letter of recommendation directly to our online system.

When applying for the MIIPS Online degree, the video platform gives our admissions committee the opportunity to learn more about you beyond the written materials you have provided. You are required to answer one question; the questions are randomized and are not something that you should prepare for.

When applying for the MIIPS Online degree, the portfolio is an opportunity to tell us your story. Showcase three to six projects that best illustrate your skills, talents, and interests. Your examples should speak to your problem-solving abilities, visualization skills, and overall level of craftsmanship. In each project, please briefly describe and summarize your contributions.

We accept photographs, drawings, or interactive presentations. Please submit your portfolio as a PDF to our online application system (Max: 20 pages).

Want pointers on how to approach the portfolio? Kyle Caruso, a current MIIPS online student, shares his tips:

After you create an online account in our system, you will be prompted to pay a non-refundable fee of $75 by either credit card or debit card.
