The Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering provides bachelor's degree programs in civil engineering, construction engineering, and environmental engineering. Additionally, it features graduate studies in computing systems, construction engineering, water resources and coastal environmental engineering, materials mechanics, structural mechanics engineering, transportation materials systems, and geoenvironmental geotechnical engineering.
Advanced degree options include coastal and water resources engineering, computing systems, construction management engineering, environmental engineering, geoenvironmental geotechnical engineering, materials mechanics, structural mechanics engineering, and transportation materials engineering.
Through Engineering Online, students can pursue the Master of Environmental Engineering (MENE) either on-campus or through Distance Education, equipping them for professional environmental engineering careers.
To be considered for admission in full graduate standing, an applicant must have a four-year bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an accredited college or university as determined by a regional or general accrediting agency and must have at least a “B” (3.000/4.000) average in the undergraduate major or in the latest graduate degree program.
Provide Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a total score of at least 80 on the Internet-based Test (iBT). Minimum test scores for each section:
Listening: 18 points
Reading: 18 points
Writing: 18 points Speaking: 18 points for admission, 23 points for TA appointment where TA has direct verbal interactions with students, 26 points for TA appointment where TA presents lectures in the class or laboratory
The maximum total score for the iBT is 120 with each section worth 30 points.
Provide International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores with an overall band score of at least 6.5. Minimum test scores for each section are listed below:
Listening: 6.5
Reading: 6.5
Writing: 6.5
Speaking: 6.5 for admission, 7.0 for TA appointment
Computer-based TOEFL scores must be 213 or higher (with at least 17 on three sections and no section score below 13). The paper-based test requires a score of 550 or higher (with scores of 50 on at least two of the three sections and no section score below 45).
