Undergraduates accepted to an Accelerated Master’s Degree program can begin taking master’s level classes while still in the undergraduate program. Up to 12 graduate credits can be used to fulfill requirements for both the undergraduate and the master’s degrees, effectively reducing the cost of, and time to, degree. Graduates of this program will be prepared for direct entry into the job market or continuation of graduate study towards a Ph.D or other professional program.

The existing degree requirement for the undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.) is 124 credit hours, which includes ENGR 451 Intro to Proj Management, two Civil Engineering electives (6 credit hours) and one technical elective" (3 credit hours). AMD students would be permitted to take the graduate level EM 660 Project Management in place of ENGR 451, and three graduate level elective courses in place of the Civil Engineering electives and technical elective. 

Eligibility Requirements for Accelerated Master’s Degree Program

• completed at least 90 hours toward the bachelor’s degree;
• at least a 3.30 overall undergraduate GPA;
