Degree Prep

View the M.Engr. Civil Engineering prerequisites, deadlines and contact information on the U of I Admissions website.

• Areas of emphasis include environmental engineering, structures, transportation, highway materials engineering, hydrology, hydraulics and ecohydraulics.
• Applicants should hold bachelor's degrees in civil engineering or in another engineering discipline. Exceptions are made only if deficiency courses are taken before admission.
• Applicants not holding B.S. degrees in civil engineering are required to show evidence of completing the following undergraduate coursework: mathematics through differential equations, and one semester each of chemistry, calculus-based physics and engineering statics. Once admitted, additional preparatory coursework will be determined by the student’s advisory committee and/or as prerequisites to courses listed in the student's study plan.

Degree Roadmap

• A thesis is not required for the M.Engr. Civil Engineering degree. A Master of Science in Civil Engineering  is also offered with a thesis requirement.
• This program may also be completed part-time or online through Engineering Outreach.
• Depending on your interests, your faculty adviser will help you develop a focused plan of study.
