CURRICULUM

新大土木工程专业的一年级学生从英语基础课程开始学习, chemistry, 数学和工程科学入门. 第二年的课程更加具体，重点是测量, math, 物理和工程科学课程. 三年级学生预习土木工程专业领域. 这些是(1)环境工程, (2) geotechnical, (3) structural, (4) transportation, and (5) water resources . The senior year continues to require certain courses but also provides for 12 hours of technical electives and a senior design project. The technical electives allow the student to take additional courses in those areas of civil engineering in which she/he/they intends to practice professionally. Currently, 有51门核心土木工程和技术选修课程供学生选择.

4+1 PROGRAM

The BSCE + MSCE (4+1) program provides the opportunities for current students in the Civil Engineering program to complete a Master's degree of Civil Engineering (MSCE) in 5 years (one additional year beyond the BS degree). 加速硕士课程要求至少总共30个学期学分. Up to 9 credits (three courses) from the Civil Engineering BS program can be double counted to the MSCE program. 然而，这些课程必须在600或700年级学习. In that sense, 有兴趣的学生可以通过减少三门课程来加速硕士的学习, so they could complete the remaining 21 credits plus the completion of the Master's thesis and graduate in one year, while the total and design credit requirements for the technical elective courses stay the same for the Civil Engineering BS degree.

需要单独申请4+1课程. Applicants can apply for their admissions in the junior year (having accumulated more than 75 credits) with an average cumulative GPA above 3.5. The review procedure for applications will follow the existing policy of Master's degree graduate student admissions.

Application procedure:

• 有兴趣和符合条件的学生必须提交一份 联合/加速课程学位课程声明 把表格交到系办公室.
• Next, the student’s academic advisor will evaluate the substitution of the graduate level courses into the undergraduate program, 然后由系主任进行最后的审查和批准. 本科学位最多可申请9个研究生学分*.
• 在收到上述必要的批准后, the student will submit this form to the Graduate College and formally apply for admission to the graduate program.
• 所有研究生院的录取都是有条件的. 最低条件是在完成硕士课程之前完成学士学位, and maintaining a 3.他们在研究生班的累积绩点是0.
• 本科课程不得计入硕士学位.
• Students entering the Master's degree program with a Bachelor’s degree in hand may not use courses earned as part of the Bachelor program for the Master's degree requirements, 即使那些课程是研究生水平的课程.
• Students must meet all of the requirements that would ordinarily be expected of those enrolled in the MSCE program.

* Graduate tuition will be assessed for graduate credits approved for double-counting toward requirements for both undergraduate and graduate programs of study. 重复计算的研究生学分将计入经济援助总额, 但不包括在学费上限之内. 然而，强制性学生费用上限为12个学分，无论课程如何.

**注:600/700级的课程需要一份替代表才能正式申请学士学位. 这是在他们注册课程后提交的。.

Students in the Civil Engineering program also have an option to obtain a Master's degree through the 4+1 accelerated BSCE + MCM program, 哪一门课程需要至少30个学分外加一门专业考试. Up to 9 credits (three courses) from the Civil Engineering BS program can be double counted to the Master of Construction Management (MCM) program. These courses must be taken in the 600 or 700 level and students can complete the accelerated program in five years. The total number of credits and design credits (from technical elective courses) required for the Civil Engineering BS degree remain the same.
