Early Entry MS in Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering offers undergraduate students the opportunity to begin coursework towards the Master of Science during the senior year of their Bachelor of Science program. Students with senior-level status in civil engineering (at least 90 semester hours) and an overall GPA of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale in engineering, mathematics, and physical science courses may be admitted to the MS program, allowing them to earn 30 hours of graduate-level credit (400- and 500-level) during their combined fourth and fifth years.
These students are eligible to apply for assistantships in the department. An application for degree-seeking status as a graduate student must be approved by Graduate Admissions and the Graduate Admissions Committee in civil engineering. A program outline must be submitted for approval by the graduate program director and Graduate Records prior to enrollment in any courses in order to be included as a part of the master's program. Official admission to the graduate program with status as a classified graduate student is made only after the award of the baccalaureate degree. In no case will a graduate degree be conferred before all requirements for both degrees have been completed.
Please note: Only current SIUE students are eligible for this program.
