5-Year BS/MS Degree Program
The Department of Civil Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering to
Master of Science degree program. With an approximate duration of five years, this combined program
provides an attractive way for students to continue their graduate work. Students may count
9 credits of approved undergraduate course work toward both their BSCV and MS degree:
| Undergraduate Courses | Credits |
| TTE 4005 -- Transportation Engineering II | 3 |
| CES 4605 -- Structural Steel Design | 3 |
| CES 4012 -- Foundation Engineering | 3 |
| ENV 4501 -- Water and Wastewater Technology | 3 |
| Civil Engineering Technical Elective | 3 |
Eligibility
To be eligible for the joint BSCV/MS program, students should:
- Have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better at the end of their junior year;
- Attain a score of 1000 or better (verbal and quantitative) on the GRE taken at the beginning of their senior year; and
- Formally apply to the joint program, completing the admissions process at least one semester prior to the beginning of the MS
portion of their program.
Once admitted to the program, students begin taking graduate courses in their senior year that would apply to both the bachelor's
and master's degree programs. A maximum of 9 credits can be applied to both programs. Students in the joint program must maintain enrollment
to remain in good standing.
Students must also meet all the degree requirements of the graduate program, including core courses and prerequisites. Those students
who complete the MS degree program within one year after the completion of their BSCV degree program will be presented with a
certificate of recognition.
