Civil Engineering (M.S.)

Illinois Institute of Technology

Students with a variety of academic backgrounds are eligible to apply for the program, including those with undergraduate degrees in engineering disciplines (e.g., civil, chemical, electrical, industrial/systems, or mechanical engineering) and also non-engineering but related disciplines. All admitted students are expected to have completed undergraduate coursework or equivalent in mathematics through differential equations. Students in the structural engineering specialization are expected to have a foundation in undergraduate structural engineering coursework. Students in the transportation and infrastructure systems engineering specialization are expected to have a foundation in undergraduate civil, urban/infrastructure systems, and transportation engineering coursework. If students have not completed relevant undergraduate coursework, they may be required to take proficiency courses in their first year of study or in the summer before their first year of study. Each applicant will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the application review process to determine any proficiency course requirements.
