Master of Science in Engineering - Civil (Accelerated)

The accelerated degree program allows undergraduate students currently in the civil and construction engineering programs an opportunity to complete the requirements for both the bachelor's and master's degrees at an accelerated pace.

The undergraduate students qualifying for the ADP may count up to nine (but not less than six) credit hours of 500 level courses taken during their undergraduate studies toward a master's degree in civil engineering within 30 months of completing their bachelor's degree in civil engineering or construction engineering. These students may choose to pursue a master of science in engineering (civil) degree under options one, two and three described in the graduate catalog.

The ADP will allow an undergraduate student majoring in civil or construction engineering to complete an accelerated bachelor or master of science in engineering (civil) by completing either 147 combined graduate and undergraduate credit hours (in the master's program by selecting option one and option two, or 153 combined graduate or undergraduate credit hours by selecting option three).

Students must declare their interest before completing 96 credit hours in their undergraduate programs, including credits earned from advanced placement.
