*View a complete CIVL course list and course descriptions. Graduate courses are those listed as level ”6000” and up. Those that are also offered online have a corresponding listing with a course section beginning in "D" (e.g., CIVL 6330 Dxx). The course section will change from term to term.
Why this degree?
The Master of Civil Engineering provide students an opportunity for advanced training and specialization through programs in construction engineering and management (on-campus students only), environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics/hydrology (on-campus students only), pavements and materials, structural engineering, and transportation engineering (on-campus students only).
Who is eligible?
- Those who hold a bachelor's degree in civil engineering or equivalent from an institution of recognized standing (transcripts required) are eligible.
- The GRE is required, and TOEFL scores are required for international applicants.
- Additional course work may be required as prerequisites upon faculty review and communicated with the student prior to offiical admission to the graduate program.
- Three letters of recommendation are also required.
What can you expect?
Once admitted into Auburn Engineering's graduate program, you will work with your major advisor to create a plan of study that will need to be approved by your graduate advising committee.
