Qualification Requirements

The Civil and Environmental Engineering department expects an applicant to have earned a Bachelor's degree in the field or an equivalent by the time they register in a CEE program. Applicants should possess a very strong background in math, physics, chemistry, or engineering. Admission is extremely competitive.
A Master's degree is not required for admittance to the PhD program. Most students who go directly into the PhD program get a MSE in Civil or Environmental Engineering along the way. Some students also plan their coursework so that they earn an additional master's degree in another engineering department.
