Graduate Program: Admission Requirements
Admission Requirements
An applicant must have completed a baccalaureate degree in engineering, mathematics, or science at an accredited college or university. If coursework or laboratory experience is deficient, an admitted student will be required to fulfill, without graduate credit, all undergraduate prerequisites for graduate courses. In some cases the student's adviser may require additional undergraduate courses in order to achieve a well-integrated program of study.
M.S. Degree Requirements
A student in the master's program may elect either a thesis (minimum of 25 course credits and 6 thesis credits) or nonthesis (minimum of 31 course credits and a 0-credit project) option. For the thesis option, a formal oral presentation/thesis defense is required. A student electing the nonthesis option is required to prepare a noncredit project paper and give a final oral presentation/project defense. In addition to the paper, the nonthesis candidate must pass a departmental comprehensive examination on fundamental engineering concepts prepared and evaluated by the candidate's advisory committee. For graduation, a B average must be achieved. All students are required to register for Civil Engineering Seminar (CIE 900) for one semester.
