THE EXTRA EDGE

Ranked 44th in civil engineering among the nation's best graduate engineering schools by U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges 2006"

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Undergraduate Degree
A bachelor’s degree or master’s degree in engineering or the equivalent from a college of good standing is required.

GPA, GRE and TOEFL requirements
A minimum GPA (based on 4.0 scale) of 3.0 is required for both MS and PhD program applicants for the last 60 hours of study. GRE scores of at least 1100 or higher (verbal plus quantitative) plus Analytical writing of 4.0 or better are required. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 paper based or 213 computer based is required of applicants whose native language is not English.

Conditional Admission
Any person not eligible for admission as a regular graduate student (and has an undergraduate GPA between 2.75 and 2.99) may be considered for conditional admission. A 3.0 GPA must be attained in the first twelve (12) hours of graduate level courses (not including research) and maintained throughout the candidate’s program.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Master of Science with Thesis
A minimum of 30 semester hours, normally including 24 hours of graduate coursework and 6 hours of research.

Master of Science without Thesis
A minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate coursework with no credit hours of research.

Dual Master’s Program
Graduate students already holding or completing a master's degree in engineering can obtain a second master's degree by completing additional 24 semester hours of graduate coursework.

Doctor of Philosophy Program
Inquire for specific requirements at the department.

The Graduate Certificate Program is designed to provide graduate engineers and working
professionals the opportunity to increase their knowledge in specific areas of interest. Presently four graduate certificate programs are offered:

• Contemporary Structural Engineering
• Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering
• Infrastructure Renewal
• Project Engineering and Construction Management

If the four-course sequence is completed with a grade of B or better in each of the courses taken, the student can be admitted to the master's program of the degree program administering the certificate. The certificate courses taken by students admitted to the master's program will count toward their master’s degrees.
