Five-Year BS/MS Program
The department offers a 5-year BS-MS program with a BS (major in civil engineering) and an MS (major in civil engineering or environmental engineering) for qualified students. The primary component of the program is that qualified students may take up to 6 hours of approved graduate courses for their senior undergraduate electives and have them count toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Tennessee. This program is designed for students attending the University of Tennessee for their Master of Science degree because other universities may not accept these courses for graduate credit since they were used to satisfy requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree. Significant components of the program are:
- Students must have an overall GPA of 3.4 in required course work. Conditional admission to the 5-year program may be granted after completion of 65 hours of required course work, while full admission may be granted after the completion of 96 hours of required course work with a minimum GPA of 3.4.
- Admission must be approved by the department and the Graduate School.
- Students must at least be conditionally admitted to the program prior to taking courses that receive credit for both the BS and MS degrees. All courses taken for graduate credit must be approved by the graduate program director. Students admitted to the program must request permission from the Graduate School to take approved courses for graduate credit. Students admitted to the program must also follow the normal procedure for admission to the Graduate School.
- Students will not be eligible for assistantships until they are enrolled as graduate-level students in the Graduate School.
Honors Concentration
Students who wish to pursue the honors civil engineering concentration will normally be part of the Chancellor’s Honors Program. Candidates for the honors civil engineering concentration must complete the following requirements.
- First-year courses for honors concentrations in the engineering majors.
- Two upper-division honors courses in civil engineering via honors-by-contract or CE 407 . The contract must be submitted to the Chancellor’s Honors Program for approval by the third week of the semester.
- A minimum of 3-credit hours of an honors senior project course. This requirement may be satisfied by CE 407 or by enrolling in the honors section of the senior capstone design course (CE 400 ).
