Admission to Massachusetts Institute of Technology is selective and competitive and is based on a holistic review of application materials. While not all of our students come from the domains of Civil and Environmental Engineering, most students matriculate to our department from undergraduate backgrounds in Science, Math, Engineering, or related fields. When applications are reviewed for admission the faculty have a keen interest in how you have done in subjects in related fields, not necessarily your overall GPA. NOTE: GRE: CEE will no longer require the GRE scores for admissions decisions. The Interdepartmental Program in Transportation requires the GRE for the coming cycle, e.g. for entry year Fall 2024. The Interdepartmental Program in Transportation is interested in students who have scored in the 80th percentile or better for all three areas of the GRE.
