Thesis

Non-Thesis

1. The minimum criteria for acceptance into the non-thesis MSCivE degree program are as follows:
   1. a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a closely related area of science; and,
   2. a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0, 7.0 on a scale of 10.0, or 70 on a scale of 100.
2. Students admitted under these minimum criteria:
   1. must demonstrate successful completion of the following pre-requisite courses (as well as the pre-requisites that these courses also require) with grades of C or better before enrolling in their first graduate level course:

1. 1. 1. 1. Structural Analysis 1
         2. Either Structural Design in Metals, or Reinforced Concrete Design
         3. Three different civil, environmental, or architectural engineering elective courses chosen from the following list:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering
            2. Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering and Science
            3. Fundamentals of Construction Engineering & Management    
            4. Construction Materials, Properties and Testing
            5. Water Resources Engineering
            6. Transportation Engineering

1. 1. must prepare a “Pre-requisite Course Plan” that includes all planned pre-requisite courses before starting their first semester at S&T.

1. 1. 1. 1. This plan must be approved by the student’s academic advisor, who in so doing will also monitor the student’s academic progress to ensure that all pre-requisite requirements have been fulfilled prior to the student enrolling in their first graduate level course.
         2. Form 1 will not be officially submitted until all pre-requisite courses have been completed.

3. These criteria apply to all non-thesis Civil MS degree program applicants in the CArE Engineering Department, regardless of an applicant’s country of origin.
4. Applicants with a Bachelor of Science degree from an ABET accredited civil engineering, environmental engineering, or architectural engineering degree program with a GPA of 3.0 or better are excluded from the acceptance conditions specified in 2a and b.
