Admission RequirementsFull graduate admission requires a baccalaureate
degree, with at least a "B" average in the undergraduate major, from an accredited
engineering program. Applicants without prior academic work in civil engineering,
construction engineering and management, or environmental engineering may be admitted
provisionally and are required to complete certain minimum requirements in mathematics,
science, and basic engineering in addition to the normal graduate degree requirements
(see below). Provisional admission may be granted to applicants who do not satisfy
normal admission criteria but have significant work experience or other special
qualifications. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) normally is required of
all applicants. This requirement may be waived upon written request for an applicant
with an exceptional academic record who does not desire financial aid. Guidelines
for Minimum Undergraduate Requirements for Graduate Program Applicants without
a Prior BS Degree in EngineeringCivil Engineering graduate program applicants
without a prior BS in engineering are expected to make up course deficiencies
with the intent of satisfying two objectives: - Develop course prerequisite
background for the Civil Engineering graduate program in the specialty elected.
- Attain an education by the end of the proposed graduate degree equivalent
to the minimum hour content requirements for an ABET-EAC accredited BS engineering
degree.
The first objective is to ensure reasonable preparation for graduate
courses so that the pace of the courses will not be hindered for other students.
The second objective is to enhance, but not guarantee, opportunity for individuals
without a prior ABET-EAC engineering degree to pursue Professional Engineering
licensure. ABET-EAC requires the following minimum content: - Mathematics
and Basic Science: 32 credit hours
Calculus (MA 141, 241, 242),
Statistics (ST 370), and possibly Differential Equations (MA 341); Physics (calculus-based,
PY 208), Chemistry (CH 101/102), and others such as Biology or Geosciences. Some
of these hours may be at the graduate level. - Engineering
Science and Engineering Design: 48 credit hours

the area requirements above
The remaining courses needed to achieve the
48-hour engineering total must be engineering courses and may be at the undergraduate
or graduate level. The graduate level courses may be part of the requirements
for the graduate degree. When prerequisites have been taken, some graduate courses
may be taken in parallel with the undergraduate courses.
