The Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering provides a civil engineering program with multiple degree options: Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. Students can also pursue the civil engineering master's degree remotely through the EDGE program, which delivers coursework via streaming video or DVD. With committee approval, graduate courses from the College of Engineering (EGN) and related departments like Environmental Engineering Sciences may count toward major requirements.
Students must have a recognized baccalaureate, graduate or professional degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution. For applicants with a bachelor’s degree only, a minimum grade point average of B (3.0), calculated from all grades and credits after the semester where the applicant reached 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores that are acceptable to the applicant’s intended academic unit or, for select programs, at least 465 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
For applicants from countries (including Puerto Rico) where English is not the official language, a minimum score on one of these English Language Skills tests: Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 550 paper, or 80 Internet; International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 6; Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB): 77, or documented successful completion of the University of Florida English Language Institute program.
