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 from countries where English is not the first language 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.
