Why this degree?
The Master of Civil Engineering provide students an opportunity for advanced training and specialization through programs in construction engineering and management, 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.
