The Graduate College requires a minimum overall undergraduate GPA of 2.75 or a GPA of 3.00 in the last two years of undergraduate work. Students who do not meet this requirement may be admitted on a provisional basis at the discretion of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Graduate College. In addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate College, an applicant for the M.S.E. program must have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a closely related discipline. Students with non-engineering backgrounds may be required to complete a set of undergraduate courses that will assure successful completion of the graduate degree.
