Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering
Educational Objectives
- Students will demonstrate an ability to apply advanced science and engineering concept to the solution of complex engineering problems.
- Students will demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively orally and in written form.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must have completed a bachelor's in civil engineering or another related engineering discipline. Candidates wishing to pursue acceptance into the program with a non-Civil/Environmental Engineering background are welcome to apply and should request specific detailed information regarding admission policy and possible leveling courses with the graduate advisor. Students need at least a 2.5 undergraduate grade point average to be considered for admission. Applicants whose degrees are from non-English speaking institutions are required to demonstrate English proficiency. Please consult the Graduate School website for required scores.
Recommendations for admission are made on the basis of the following:
- Grade point average in upper-division or graduate work as appropriate.
- Resume or evidence of relevant personal or professional experience.
- Two Letters of recommendation.
-
Submission of GRE scores is required for applicants who do not have an earned degree in a closely related discipline from a U.S. university.
