The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Old Dominion University offers Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Engineering (M.E.) degrees in Environmental Engineering as an online option designed for non-resident students. Courses are offered in either synchronous (live weekday evenings) or in asynchronous (archived) mode and may be taken in either format during regular semesters. The degree can be obtained solely through ODU's online graduate courses or in combination with approved transfer credits from other institutions. Potential students must apply for and be admitted to the Old Dominion University Graduate School to pursue the degree.
Requirements for Admission into the Master's Program
Regular admission requirements include (1) a bachelor's degree in civil or environmental engineering, (2) a 3.00 grade point average (4.00 scale), (3) a 500-word (or less) essay on academic and personal goals, and (4) two letters of recommendation from current or former professors or supervisors.
Applicants with an undergraduate degree in other fields of engineering and science are also welcome and could be admitted provisionally. Provisionally-admitted students may be required to complete prerequisite courses in preparation for the graduate courses that will make up their program of study.
