Admission to this program requires an MS in Civil Engineering or equivalent with a GPA of 3.5 or better (on a 0-4 scale). GRE scores are required for all full-time Ph.D. applicants. Foreign applicants must take the TOEFL examination and submit the results for consideration. Because admission to a Ph.D. program requires a relevant MS (or equivalent), applicants who have not yet achieved a master’s degree would normally be admitted as MS students. They are expected to earn an MS degree while completing their major and minor course requirements. In rare cases, an applicant with only a BS degree may be directly admitted into the Ph.D. program with the written approval of the department head. To be eligible for consideration to any graduate program at NYU Tandon, you must hold a four-year U.S. Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution, or its international equivalent.
