Preparatory Course Work for Students without an Undergraduate Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or Construction Management Degree :

All MCM students will be required to have minimum competencies in Math, Statistics, Engineering Economics, and Construction Fundamentals. Students without a baccalaureate degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or Construction Management can be admitted to the program after demonstrating proficiency in the following areas:

• Math through Elements of Calculus - Math 180
• Statistics – Stat 145
• Engineering Economy – CE 350
• Construction Contracting – CE 372

Proficiency can be demonstrated by: (1) taking the undergraduate classes listed above with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and no grade below a “C”; (2) taking and passing an exam that demonstrates that the student reasonably knows the material; or (3) documenting prior academic experience that substantially covers the preparatory material.

Students who have not demonstrated proficiency will not be considered for admission and should not apply to the program until the semester in which they meet the proficiency requirements. However, in extraordinary circumstances, the student can submit a petition to the CE Department Graduate Committee requesting consideration of his/her application for early admission.
