Your path in three steps
1. Check your prerequisites
Seven core math, science, and programming courses that most STEM majors already have.
2. Choose your degree
The MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering adds four make-up courses. Other degrees don't require them.
Courses you'll need before you start
All entering students must have taken:
- General chemistry: 1 semester
- Biology (or other science): 1 semester
- Calculus: 2 semesters
- Differential equations: 1 semester
- Probability and statistics, or linear algebra: 1 semester
- Computer programming, applications, or tools: 1 semester
- Physics: 2 semesters

Make-up requirements for M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering
To earn the standard MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering, you'll take four undergraduate engineering courses alongside your graduate courses. They provide the foundation for advanced engineering study.
| Course | Title | Units | Offered |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12-212 | Statics | 9 | First fall semester |
| 12-355 | Fluid Mechanics | 9 | First fall semester |
| 12-411 | Project Management for Engineering and Construction | 9 | First or second fall semester |
| 12-335 | Soil Mechanics | 9 | Second fall semester |
There are degree options that do not require these makeup courses. Email us for more information: ceeadmit@andrew.cmu.edu
