WSU’s Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering with Specialization in Environmental Engineering is offered 100% online, combining advanced technical courses with professional management training to help students advance in their careers.
Get Started
To apply for the program, you’ll need a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher. Applicants with bachelor’s degrees in other engineering or science disciplines may also be accepted into the program if the student takes additional courses to overcome academic deficiencies. (These additional courses may not be used to satisfy degree requirements.) Students with a GPA of less than 3.0 may also be considered for provisional admission on a case-by-case basis at the recommendation of the program lead. GRE is not required for admission.
