Students will have the opportunity to enroll in graduate courses during their third (Junior) and fourth (Senior) year of study.

Application to the program: Only enrolled CSU undergraduate Civil Engineering students are eligible to apply for the Accelerated BS/MS Program in Civil or Environmental Engineering. Students are eligible to apply after they have completed sixty credit hours, with at least 30 credit hours earned at CSU. Students must apply to the program before the completion of ninety-five credit hours (including transfer credits). To be eligible for admission to the program, the student must:

Program Details: Students admitted to the joint five-year Bachelor/Master of Science program remain undergraduates until they meet the requirements for the bachelor’s degree, at which point they will receive the BCE degree. Once admitted to the combined program, the student may complete up to 11 credit hours of graduate courses while enrolled in the undergraduate program. These 11 credit-hours will count towards BOTH the undergraduate degree and the graduate degree, either as electives or requirements, depending on course. Upon receipt of their Bachelor’s degree, students who have a 3.0 or better average in their graduate courses will AUTOMATICALLY be admitted to the Graduate Program, and have up to 11 hours of graduate coursework (and grades) added to their graduate transcipts. STUDENTS MUST ATTEND THE NEXT REGULAR SEMESTER AS A GRADUATE STUDENT TO BE CONTINUED IN THE PROGRAM. As a Gradaute student, students must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 to remain in the program.
