PGCert in Civil Engineering

The Graduate Certificate in Structural Engineering suits professionals who want a credential shorter than a full master's degree and who hope to save time and money. It consists of three required core courses and a single elective, twelve credit hours in all. The online format lets students finish within a year. Credits earned may later count toward the civil engineering master's degree, though a separate application to that program is needed. Applicants provide a graduate application, an application fee and official transcripts showing at least a bachelor's degree. Applicants should review the catalog entry for the complete list of requirements, since certificate students must also follow the general policies that the Graduate School sets for its programs. The catalog page also links to degree requirements and course descriptions for anyone planning ahead.
