ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS
WITHOUT AN ACCREDITED B.S. DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL OR CIVIL ENGINEERING

Students without an accredited B.S. degree in Architectural or Civil Engineering are usually required to take additional undergraduate courses.  Depending on the number of background courses needed, a student may be required to register as an undergraduate until beginning graduate-level work.  The courses required for a student without an accredited B.S. degree can vary widely depending on background.  Each student's required courses are evaluated on an individual basis, but as a minimum, the following undergraduate courses generally are required before graduate courses can be taken.

Mathematics (calculus or higher)     

12 hours

Physics 

8 hours

Chemistry               

3 hours

Statics     

3 hours

Dynamics             

3 hours

Mechanics of Solids             

3 hours

Computer Programming     

3 hours

Engineering Materials        

3 hours

Fluid Mechanics   

3 hours

Thermodynamics  

3 hours

Structural Analysis               

3 hours

Geotechnical Engineering    

3 hours

Other courses may be required.  For example, Structures majors may be required to take Advanced Structural Analysis; Construction Management majors may be required to take Engineering Economy.  It may also be desirable to have students without a background in design or construction to take Materials of Construction and at least one course in Introduction to Design.  Credit may be given for any course on the above list for which a student has previously received a passing grade.
