About the Program

The program allows students to develop technical depth and breadth in their professional and related area, which enhances their professional productivity, whether in industry or as they proceed to the PhD. In a natural progression, undergraduate courses provide the necessary technical prerequisite understanding and skills for graduate studies. The common technical concepts of engineering allow for the MS in the related discipline to be readily achieved. Recognized by The American Society of Civil Engineers, the publisher of the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, as kindred disciplines, students will add a depth of complementary knowledge to their skillsets.

Degree Requirements

*

Co-op cycles may vary. Students are assigned a co-op cycle (fall/winter, spring/summer, summer-only) based on their co-op program (4-year, 5-year) and major.

COOP 101 registration is determined by the co-op cycle assigned and may be scheduled in a different term. Select students may be eligible to take COOP 001 in place of COOP 101.

General Education Requirements.

***

CHEM sequence is determined by the student's Chemistry Placement Exam score and the completion of a summer online preparatory course available based on that score.

†

MATH and PHYS sequences are determined by the student's Calculus Placement Exam score and the completion of any summer online preparatory courses available based on that score.

††

Some students may need a one-credit concurrent practicum course depending on their calculus exam score and summer preparatory review participation.

Sample Plan of Study

Students should complete undergraduate requirements in four years then convert to graduate status in their final year.

A full-time, academically qualified undergraduate student may take up to 9.0 quarter credits of graduate coursework with departmental permission while in an undergraduate degree program. This coursework may be counted to fulfill undergraduate degree requirements with departmental permission.

Students admitted to an accelerated degree program may take up to a total of 15.0 quarter credits of graduate coursework with departmental permission while in an undergraduate degree program. This graduate coursework must be counted to fulfill undergraduate degree requirements with departmental permission.

This graduate coursework may be used as Shared Credits toward an advanced degree. The course credits for each graduate course taken as an undergraduate student shall only be applied to one graduate degree with departmental permission.

Matriculated students should consult Drexel Central about maintaining Federal/State financial aid eligibility regarding graduate credits taken while in an undergraduate degree program.
