Master of Science in Structural Engineering

1. A bachelor of science degree in an architectural, civil or structural engineering program, or a closely related degree.
2. Specific undergraduate course requirements include mechanics or materials, indeterminate structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design. Students who hold an engineering degree or other related degree, but lack some of the specific undergraduate course requirements may be permitted to begin course work as probationary students, and are generally expected to complete all prerequisites before enrolling in graduate-level classes. Such decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
3. Two letters of recommendation . If employed, at least one of the letters should be from the applicant's employer or supervisor.
4. If the applicant's undergraduate GPA is less than 2.80, applicants are expected to submit test scores from the GRE general test. The test scores, as well as the entire application, will be used as an indicator of potential success in the MSST program.
5. If your native language is not English, a score of 79 or better must be achieved on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). There are additional filing requirements for international students.
