Notes:

^Graduate courses used to satisfy graduate and undergraduate degree program requirements.

*Life Sciences: Select from ECOL 1000 or MARS 1100 or BIOL 1104.

**Graduate students on assistantship (research or teaching) are required to enroll in a minimum of 12 hrs in fall/spring, 9 hrs in summer in order to be eligible to get a tuition waiver (and stipend).

***ENGINEERING GRAD Electives constitute at least 12 credits from UGA courses open to only graduate students exclusive of thesis and project research. The 12 hours may not be satisfied by transfer credit, Master’s research (7000), Masters’ project-based research (7010), or thesis writing (7300).

ENGINEERING ELECTIVES
Choose 11 courses from at least 2 of the following tracks: Geotechnical, Hydraulics, Structures, or Infrastructure Engineering. At least 3 design courses (indicated by italics) must be selected. At least 8 courses must be graduate level (indicated by a 6xxx or 8xxx listing) and satisfy M.S. in Engineering with an Emphasis in Civil requirements. No more than 12 credits may be applied to both the B.S.C.E. and M.S.-E degree.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that during year four of their curriculum that the student take the 6000-level components of the included 4000/6000-level courses.

SUMMER SESSION BETWEEN YEARS FOUR AND FIVE:
Students are required to enroll in 9 credit hours of ENGR 7000 M.S. Research during the summer session between Years Four and Five in order to accelerate their research. Total research hours accumulated during the M.S. typically exceed the minimum required.

REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS:
All students in the B.S.CVLE program are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam prior to graduation with their B.S.CVLE degree.
