Applicants need a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (out of 4.0) in the last 60 semester hours (or 90 quarter hours) of undergraduate study.
A "B" grade average (3.0/4.0) is considered competitive; some sources mention 3.2/4.0 as a strong benchmark.
A Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or a closely related field is preferred. Students without this background must complete prerequisite deficiency courses.
