- Transfer Credits
A maximum of 9 credit hours of graduate-level work earned at FAU as an undergraduate or while in non-degree status at FAU and a maximum of 6 credits transferred from another regionally or nationally accredited institution may be used to satisfy MSCivE degree requirements subject to the following restrictions:
- The student must present a transcript identifying the course, in which the student earned a grade of "B" or better, along with a catalog/course description.
- The course must not have been counted toward any other graduate or undergraduate degree awarded or to be awarded to the student.
- The course is relevant to the student's approved Program of Study.
- No credit earned seven or more years before the degree is awarded may be counted toward the MSCivE degree. Credits transferred into or applied to the program are considered as earned in the first semester of enrollment.
- Undergraduate Background Courses for Students without Bacccalaureate Degrees in
Civil Engineering
- Graduate Advising
- Financial Aid
Full-time students may be considered for a graduate assistantship, which provides part-time employment in the Department. Full or partial tuition waivers may also be awarded to graduate assistants. The number of assistantships is limited and they are awarded on the basis of the technical area of interest, the student's experience and academic record, and letters of recommendation. Interested students should contact the Graduate Studies Coordinator.
Graduate research assistants work on research projects conducted in the Department, are required to pursue one of the thesis options, and their project work usually serves as the basis for their theses. Graduate teaching assistants are assigned to assist faculty members with conducting one or more courses, and may pursue either the thesis option or project option.
Cooperative education and internship programs are available, providing part-time employment in engineering firms. Contact the Division of Engineering Distance Education and Career Services at (561) 297-2694 for more information.
Other financial aid opportunities may be available through the university. Contact
the Office of Student Financial Aid for more information.
