Master of Science in Civil Engineering- Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering deals with the design and operation of large-scale complex systems. Within the Civil Engineering context, it usually deals with environmental systems, water resources systems, transportation systems, construction and urban planning. It uses methodologies derived from engineering design and from the mathematics of operations research, stochastic processes, and automatic control. It embodies heavy emphasis on the environmental, social, and economic aspects of large-scale engineering development. The basic building blocks of systems engineering are therefore highly interdisciplinary.

The minimum requirement for admission to the M.S. degree program is a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university. The minimum requirement for admission to the master's degree program of a particular department is an undergraduate degree from an accredited engineering program. Additional requirements may apply based on un-dergraduate performance. The minimum GPA required from regular admission to master's degree programs is 3.0 for bachelor level courses. Provisional admission can be granted to students with a GPA less than 3.0. Provisional admission will be converted to regular admission after the stu-dent passes a set of approved graduate level courses with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Official transcripts of all undergraduate coursework and post-secondary studies Three (3) official letters of recommendation Minimally accepted TOEFL scores, when applying for graduate pro-grams, are 550-paper; 213-computer; and 80 Internet. Students taking the TOEFL should have at least 20 out of 30 in each of the TOEFL sub-categories. The minimally accepted graduate IELTS score is 6.5.
