CE-MS - Civil Engineering, M.S.

The Fast-track M.S. Program in Civil Engineering will provide an opportunity for promising CEE undergraduate students to accelerate the completion of the M.S. by allowing undergraduates to accumulate up to six (6) credit hours of graduate coursework while still pursuing their undergraduate degree and to transition to the graduate program smoothly. Up to six hours of graduate coursework, exclusive of directed study, taken during the student's senior year can be used to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. These courses must be taken at Tennessee Tech University and must be approved as appropriate substitutions in the undergraduate curriculum for senior CEE electives.

Students must apply to the CEE Fast-track M.S. program by the end of their second junior term. Students must apply and take the GRE(R) General Test (GRE) during their second senior term (one [1] semester prior to their anticipated graduation). The CEE Fast-track students should be aware that they need to consult with their future M.S. advisor for the 5000-level courses taken during their senior terms, especially for the courses not in their area of concentration. The minimum requirements for acceptance into the Fast-track program are:

• Enrolled in TTU Civil Engineering student with Junior or Senior standing

• Overall GPA of 3.25 and a GPA for CEE courses of at least 3.5

• Recommendation of a CEE faculty mentor

• All requirements for admission to Graduate School must be met upon graduation
