Prerequisites to applying for the Online MS program

A Bachelor's degree in engineering is required to apply to this program, but students with a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering-related disciplines (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geology, Geophysics, and so forth) may apply to the Online Master's program in Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering after completion of the prerequisite classes or equivalents listed below. Students completing these courses before you apply will put them on par with engineering graduates and to help them pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, the first step toward a Professional Engineering (PE) license. International students must possess an engineering degree upon admission to the Online MS Program. Upon graduation, international students are viewed by the State of Texas Professional Engineering Board as having the equivalent of an Undergraduate Engineering Degree and can go through the licensure process to become professional engineers. Note, some graduate courses may require specific undergraduate prerequisites so check the current catalog.

University Scholarships

Scholarships available from the Graduate School are available at this link. These scolarships are provided in the Fall term and provide out-of-state tuition waivers for the full year. Application for these scholarships are generally due every January 15th. You do not need to have your application fully accepted at the time of the application, but you will need to be enrolled in the Fall term to receive the scholarship.
