Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission to the M.Eng. program, a candidate must:

• Satisfy general University and Volgenau School requirements for admission to a graduate program,
• Have earned a baccalaureate degree in engineering or a related science,
• Provide three letters of recommendation from individuals knowledgeable about the applicant’s academic or professional work,
• Provide a professional résumé.

Acceptance to the degree program is based on an assessment of the applicant’s capacity to pursue graduate study successfully; students are assumed to have completed an undergraduate degree in civil engineering. Consideration is given to the undergraduate record, any previous graduate work, professional work experience, and reference letters. Students with minor admission deficiencies, or with undergraduate degrees in related fields, such as geology or another branch of engineering, may be provisionally admitted subject to completing an articulation program of civil engineering undergraduate courses. Courses required for articulation are not creditable toward the M.Eng. degree.
