Applications submitted after the fall deadline through March 15 will be reviewed if complete and will be considered for admission by the department if space is still available. To check if space is available, please email:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:ceegradadmission@engr.wisc.edu\" target=\"_blank\">ceegradadmission@engr.wisc.edu<\/a>.<\/p> <p>In addition, applicants must also meet the department&#8217;s requirements listed below to be considered for admission:<\/p> <h5>Grades<\/h5> <p>A minimum undergraduate grade-point average (GPA) of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) on the equivalent of the last 60 semester hours (approximately two years of work) or a master\u2019s degree with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required. Applicants from an international institution must demonstrate strong academic achievement comparable to a 3.00 for an undergraduate or master\u2019s degree. The Graduate School will use your institution\u2019s grading scale. Do not convert your grades to a 4.00 scale.<\/p> <h5>Degree<\/h5> <p>A bachelor&#8217;s degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program or from a recognized international institution is recommended.<\/p> <h5>Funding<\/h5> <p>Funded offers for MS (research) and PhD students, in the form of research assistantships, project assistantships, and\/or teaching assistantships come directly from individual\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/directory.engr.wisc.edu\/cee\">faculty members<\/a>. Please contact interested faculty before or after you have applied to inquire about assistantship opportunities. Funding is not guaranteed with admission.\u00a0Faculty will contact successful applicants directly regarding funding opportunities.<\/p> <h4>Complete Application<\/h4> <p>A complete graduate application is required before an application will be reviewed by the faculty. A complete graduate application contains the following:<\/p> <h5>Graduate School Application<\/h5> <p>Applicants must submit an online application to the UW\u2013Madison Graduate School. See\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/grad.wisc.edu\/admissions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Graduate School Admissions<\/a>\u00a0to apply.<\/p> <h5>Statement of Purpose<\/h5> <p>Submit a statement of purpose of 1,000 words or less in the online application. This statement should cover your technical areas of interest, coursework emphasis, research experience, professional goals, faculty members you are interested in working with, and any other items relevant to your qualifications for graduate school.\u00a0 See the Graduate School for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/grad.wisc.edu\/apply\/prepare\/\">additional guidelines for the Statement of Purpose<\/a>\u00a0(scroll to bottom of page).<\/p> <h5>Three Letters of Recommendation<\/h5> <p>Three letters of recommendation must be submitted through the online application.\u00a0These letters should be from people who can judge the applicant\u2019s academic, research, and\/or work performance. See the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/grad.wisc.edu\/apply\/#FAQ\">Graduate School for FAQs<\/a>\u00a0regarding these letters.<\/p> <h5>Academic Transcripts<\/h5> <p>Upload the most recent copies of your transcripts to the online application, from each institution attended. Study abroad transcripts are not required if coursework is reflected on the degree granting university&#8217;s transcript. Unofficial copies of transcripts are used for departmental review. If the applicant is recommended for admission, then the Graduate School will follow-up with instructions for official transcript submission.\u00a0Please do not send transcripts or any other application materials to the Graduate School or the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering unless requested.<\/p> <h5>Resume\/Curriculum Vitae<\/h5> <p>Upload your most recent resume or curriculum vitae in the online application.<\/p> <h5>English Proficiency Score<\/h5> <p>Applicants whose native language is not English, or whose undergraduate instruction was not in English, must provide an English proficiency test score.
