- Master's Degree Programs
CEE offers two Master's degree tracks: a research-intensive track and a coursework-only professional track. The primary criterion for admission to either track is the applicant's ability to progress satisfactorily in a graduate degree program, as judged by faculty in the program.To be considered for admission, applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university in the US or its equivalent from a foreign institution. They must also have achieved a 3.0 minimum GPA (based on 4.0 scale) from the last 60 graded semester hours or last 90 graded quarter hours in their undergraduate or post-graduate academic coursework. In practice, substantially higher grades may be necessary for admission to the graduate program.
