12 credit hours for students with a 3.5 GPA or higher
6 hours for students with a GPA between 3.0 and 3.49

Courses undergraduate students in the Accelerated Master's Degree Program can take to earn credit towards the graduate degree:

CIVE 5672: Stormwater Engineering and Management
ENGR 5735: Environmental Remediation
GEOL 5550: Hydrogeology

ENGR 5931 Engineering analysis II

Remember: For students who participated in the accelerated program prior to fall of 2026, 500-level courses for graduate credit required the student to reserve the course for graduate credit. A student who did not do so will be unable to use the 500-level course for the graduate degree and it will be considered the same as a course between 5000 and 5499 in the new course-numbering system.

Students enrolled for the graduate credit in a 5500- to 5999-level course must complete the graduate work. Should they decide they do not wish to do so, they need to work with the instructor, their dean's office, and the Registrar to change their enrollment to the appropriate undergraduate course number. Otherwise, they will be graded based on the criteria for the graduate course number.
