B.S. in Construction Engineering Technology/M.S. in System Science, Environmental Studies Concentration
A total of 133 credits are required for the B.S. degree. Admission to the joint degree program requires that the undergraduate cumulative grade point ratio (CGPR) must be 2.50 or higher. The graduate CGPR in the first four graduate courses taken must be 2.75 or higher in order to enter the fifth year of this program.
M.S. in Systems Science with a Concentration in Environmental Studies Degree requires taking 24 credits. Students will choose courses from a list of environmental studies courses prepared by the School of Natural Sciences.
