ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

All prospective engineering students are required to first submit a pre application. The pre application can be found at http://www.graduate.cecs.ucf.edu

Students may apply for admission to a graduate program if they meet the requirements as stated in the graduate catalog. For details about the UCF admissions process, and for deadlines that must be met during the application process, visit the web-site http://www.graduate.ucf.edu . Note that international students are not admitted until they receive an I-20 from the International Student Services Office at UCF. The department only recommends admission, and only after all student documents mentioned below have been received and are complete.

The following listings summarize the CEE department requirements (which are in addition to the UCF requirements). Although many students are supported financially, such support is not guaranteed to all students. The department makes the final judgment on how many students can be accepted in any given year.

Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering

Master's degree in civil engineering or a closely related discipline
Score of 1100 or higher on the GRE
Detailed resume
Letter with research interests
Three letters of recommendation
For applicants from countries where English is not the official language, or for an applicant whose bachelor's degree is not from an accredited U.S. institution, an official score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) of at least 220 on the computer-based test (or an equivalent score on the paper-based test) is required.

Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Engineering
