Master of Science in Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering - Engineering Science

The graduate Engineering Science program at CU Boulder is intended to provide an advanced education and stimulating environment to students seeking careers and education beyond a specific civil engineering subdiscipline who are interested in learning and applying advanced analytical, computational and experimental methods to tackle modern engineering and technological problems. Students from civil, environmental architectural engineering, as well other engineering and applied science disciplines (e.g., applied mathematics, mechanical, aerospace, electrical, geophysics, computer science) are all welcome to apply.A particular focus of the program is on inter- and cross-disciplinary research which often requires a sound fundamental scientific and engineering training. The emphasis is on both depth and balance.

Minimum Admissions Requirements The Graduate School at CU Boulder has established minimum standards for admission. Qualified students may be recommended for admission to regular degree status by approved programs of the Graduate School provided they meet the following criteria. Individual graduate departments may have additional or more restrictive standards by which they evaluate graduate applicants. Be sure to visit the admissions pages of the programs that you are interested in for a full list of program specific application requirements. Applicants must: Hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, or have done work equivalent to that required for such a degree. Show promise of ability to pursue advanced study and research, as judged by the student’s scholastic record. Have adequate preparation to enter graduate study in the chosen field. Have at least a 2.75 (2.00=C) undergraduate grade point average. Applicants to programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Science must have a 3.00 (3.00=B) undergraduate grade point average. Note: applicants who cannot meet this undergraduate standard may still secure regular admission if they have completed 9 semester hours of relevant graduate course work with at least a 3.25 grade point average.
