\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Candidates for admission to the Graduate Program should typically have an undergraduate degree in Civil\/Environmental Engineering area. In special cases, for candidates to the Graduate Program with Civil\/Environmental Engineering emphasis area, who do not have an undergraduate degree in Civil\/Environmental Engineering field, there are two options:<\/p>\n

Option 1. First obtain a B.S. in Civil engineering, and then pursue a MS degree. This is a much more preferred option. With this option, you are much better prepared to take FE Exam and PE Exam, and you get a broad knowledge of civil engineering. This option takes longer to complete since you have to satisfy all course degree requirements for the B.S. in Civil Engineering Program, and the engineering courses are typically offered once a year. Your adviser and the Department will determine what courses can be transferred. See also information for transfer students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Option 2. The second option is to take articulation courses first and then pursue a graduate program. This option can be completed faster, but does not give you a broad knowledge of civil engineering. In this case, you would
\ntake additional courses based on the courses your have already taken. The engineering courses are typically offered once a year. The articulation classes are described below.<\/p>\n

Articulation Courses for Civil Engineering Emphasis Area<\/span><\/u><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Candidates for the Civil Engineering emphasis area, who do not have an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering or in closely related field, are required to satisfy, as a minimum<\/u>, all the articulation courses listed in Table 1 in addition to satisfying four courses from the five articulation courses listed in Table 2. In addition,
\nrequired pre-requisites (such as Calculus courses, Calculus-based Physics courses, Chemistry, etc.) to all articulation courses must be fulfilled as is required by the individual course. In addition to courses listed in table 1 and Table 2, the students are required to take several other undergraduate courses in specialty areas (structural
\nengineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, and transportation engineering). The adviser
\n<\/span>and the Dept. will determine what additional courses are needed based on the student\u2019s program of study. As a result, a student may be required to take many more courses than the ones listed in Table 1 and Table 2.<\/p>\n
