A cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) on all college work for bachelor's degree or post-baccalaureate work. Due to the sequencing of coursework, new students will normally only be admitted in the fall term.
The deadline for full consideration of the application is December 15 th . Applications submitted between December 16 th and Feb. 15 th may also be reviewed if we still have positions available. Applications submitted after Feb. 15 th will not be accepted.
Students who have a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and who complete the Engineering and Construction Project Management certificate courses may be eligible to have up to 12 credit hours applicable to the Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Construction Management.
Students who have a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and who complete the Structural Engineering certificate courses may be eligible to have up to 12 credit hours applicable to the Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering.
It is expected that any applicant already has at least upper division undergraduate level core courses in a typical computer science program. All applications will receive careful and diligent consideration. Our admission decision is based on the whole student and the student's experience (more than the numbers) and the willingness of a faculty member to be the interim advisor.
Students are expected to hold an undergraduate or master's degree in environmental sciences, geology, geography or a closely-related field. Opportunities within the department range from the physical sciences to the humanities. Because of the wide range of faculty expertise, and in keeping with the general spirit of the entire interdisciplinary program, the faculty in Geosciences has deliberately chosen to establish broad guidelines for admission of Interdisciplinary Ph.D. students. All prospective graduate students must attain a GPA of 3.0 or above, on a 4.0 scale, in all university work prior to admission. Three letters of recommendation from professors as well as a proposal from the prospective student detailing goals and expectations are needed for an evaluation of the application. Students are expected to have an advisor at the time of admission.
