Admission Requirements
Admission applications are reviewed three times per year. February and April for Summer/Fall admission and October for Spring admission.
There are no set deadlines, however, to ensure your application is reviewed for the desired semester, all materials must be received by the first of the month (i.e. Feb. 1st or April 1st for Summer/Fall and October 1st for Spring).
Applications, once complete, are held for the next admission period. Additional reviews may be held at the discretion of the Admission Committee.
Admission Requirements:
The Master of Science degree program is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in Construction, Architecture, Business, or Engineering. Other potential students with appropriate work experience are encouraged to apply.
Acceptance into the Graduate Program is based primarily upon undergraduate grade point average (GPA), GRE scores, letters of recommendation and statement of intent. A Junior/Senior year GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required.
