Admission

For both masters and doctoral programs, two letters of recommendation, an essay about the applicant's interest in the particular area, and statement about any future goals and plans are required. All applicants whose native language is not English, must take TOEFL and score 550 points or above (or IELTS ≥ 6.5) for regular admission. Submission of GRE scores are required, except for master's program applicants who hold a bachelor's degree or Ph.D. program applicants who hold a master's degree in engineering disciplines from ABET accredited United States based institutions.

For all master's programs, in addition to the above requirements, the applicant must hold an undergraduate degree (preferably in civil or environmental engineering). Applicants with bachelor's degrees in other fields of engineering/sciences, may be required to complete undergraduate prerequisite courses prior to acceptance.

For the doctoral program, an applicant must have a master's degree or equivalent in engineering or a related field.

Forms and information regarding admission can be accessed from the Office of Graduate Admissions for domestic applicants, and from the Office of International Admissions for international applicants.
