GradSHARK Launch PAAD – Environmental Engineering, MS

Undergraduate students interested in graduate study in Environmental Engineering can get a head start in earning a graduate degree through the GradSHARK Launch PAAD for Environmental Engineering.

Requirements to qualify:

  • Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Geological Engineering major
  • 3.0 minimum GPA
  • 90 completed credit hours as an undergraduate

 

Number of credit hours a student can earn towards the graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies:

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 Launch PAAD can take to earn credit towards the graduate degree:

  • CE 572 Stormwater Engineering and Management
  • ENGR 573 Environmental Remediation
  • GEOL 505 Hydrogeology
  • CE 531 Soil Mechanics II
  • CE 541 Advanced Mechanics of Materials
  • CE 570 Infrastructure Management
  • Engr 591 Engineering Analysis I
  • Engr 593 Engineering analysis II

 

*Students who fail to reserve 500-level courses for graduate credit at the time they take the course will not receive graduate credit for the course (graduate level work must be completed to earn graduate credit). Reserving graduate credit with 500-level courses is required to ensure the Graduate School and instructor know the student must complete graduate credit requirements for the course. Students cannot later claim graduate credit for 500-level courses if they did not take the appropriate steps to notify the Graduate School prior to taking the course.

To Enroll:

Students must be accepted into the Launch PAAD and complete the requisite GradSHARK Launch PAAD Course Enrollment Form for this degree. The form must be received by the Graduate School (the form requires approval from your Undergraduate Advisor and the Graduate Program Coordinator for Civil Engineering). During each subsequent term, the student must submit a new enrollment form for this program if they wish to take courses that can count towards a graduate degree (students will not officially be registered for graduate courses until this form is complete).
