PhD Civil Engineering (Masters Entry) at University of Texas at Arlington

Entry requirements

Performance on the GRE will not be the sole criterion for admitting applicants or the primary criterion to deny admission to the program. In cases where GRE performance is relatively poor all other qualifications presented by the applicant will be carefully evaluated for evidence of potential for success. A student must meet the following requirements for unconditional admission: A Master’s Degree or at least 30 hours of graduate coursework in Civil Engineering. (Applicant with a Master’s Degree in another discipline is considered, subject to satisfactory completion of deficiency courses for the CE area of specialization.) No specific GPA requirement (application considered as a whole). However, a graduate coursework GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, as calculated by the Graduate School, is typical of a successful applicant. A minimum score of 158 on the GRE Quantitative section and 148 on the GRE Verbal section is typical of a successful applicant. A minimum score of 79 on the TOEFL iBT, or a minimum score of 6.5 on the IELTS, if English is not the applicant's native language.
