Departmental Admission Criteria
The applicant must demonstrate the ability to master graduate-level studies.
The evaluation is based on a review of the formal application submitted,
transcripts from all previous colleges attended, and letters of recommendation.
Applicants whose native language is not English must also give evidence of
adequate proficiency in the English language determined by:
- TOEFL examination score
- Graduate Record Examination
- GRE (General Test)
MSCE Degree Criteria
To earn the MSCE degree, the candidate would normally hold a Bachelor of
Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree from an Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited program or its equivalent. A
candidate with a degree in another engineering or related field is eligible
provided he/she can present evidence of proficiency in:
- Mathematics
- Basic and engineering science
- Computer literacy
- Engineering design consistent with ABET's Criteria for Basic Level
Programs
In the absence of such evidence, the candidate will be required to complete
the undergraduate engineering design courses and their appropriate undergraduate
prerequisites, including mathematics and basic science courses consistent with
the BSCE program at Villanova.
MSWREE Degree Criteria
A candidate is eligible to pursue the MSWREE degree provided he/she can present
evidence of proficiency in:
- Mathematics
- Basic science
- Engineering science
In the absence of such evidence, the candidate will be required to complete
the following undergraduate prerequisites:
- Four semesters of mathematics through differential equations
- Two semesters of chemistry
- One semester of Newtonian physics
- Statics/Dynamics
- Fluid mechanics
MTSE Degree Criteria
A candidate is eligible to pursue the MSTE degree provided he/she can present
evidence of proficiency in mathematics, basic science and engineering science.
In the absence of such evidence, the candidate will be required to complete the
following undergraduate prerequisites:
- Four semesters of mathematics through differential equations
- Three semesters of basic sciences including at least one each in Newtonian
physics and chemistry
- Statics/Dynamics
The undergraduate prerequisites for the MSWREE or MSTE degree may be completed
in either the day or evening undergraduate programs at Villanova or their
equivalent taken elsewhere with departmental approval. Engineering technology
courses cannot be used to fulfill undergraduate prerequisites. The undergraduate
courses will be in addition to the graduate courses required for the MSWREE or
MSTE degree.
