Degree RequirementsGeneral EducationThe CE program requires that students meet theUniversity’s General Education requirements.They have the most flexibility in meeting therequirements for the Arts, Humanities, andSocial Sciences (AHS) and Health and PhysicalActivity (GHA) requirements. Students must take18 AHS credits; 3 of which include the requiredECON course. Generally, you will need to take6 credits in each of the 3 areas (GA, GH, andGS). General Education requirements are in theUndergraduate Degree Bulletin gram). Students must complete both the USCultures (US)(3cr) and International Cultures (IL)(3cr) requirements. These are most efficientlydone by having one of the AHS courses countas both AHS and US or IL. Students must alsocomplete Integrative Studies either by taking 6credits of Inter-Domain courses or by taking 6credits of Linked courses from the same linkage,in different Knowledge Domains, to fulfill therequirement.When half of the deficiencies are removed, thestudent may pursue enrolling in DUS.Laboratory RequirementThe civil engineering curriculum requires thatstudents complete one CE lab. Students canchoose from CE 337 or CE 475 to meet thisrequirement.Writing Across theCurriculumBaccalaureate degree students must complete atleast 3 credits of writing-intensive courses priorto graduation. These courses must be selectedfrom approved writing-intensive courses offeredwithin the major or college of enrollment.C or Better CoursesTo fulfill graduation requirements, students mustearn a C grade or better in the following courses(33 credits): EMCH 211, 212, 213, and CE 310, 321,332, 335, 336, 340, 360 and 370. In addition, theymust complete these courses with a C grade orbetter to schedule courses for which these areprerequisites.GPAA cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better is required forgraduation. If the cumulative GPA drops below2.00, the student may be dropped for poorscholarship. If the student is dropped as a degreecandidate, the College of Engineering requiresthat all deficiencies be removed before they canbe re-enrolled in the major.15

Procedures, Policies, and RulesAll Policies and Rules are found on theFaculty Senate site at rgraduatestudents/Policy 47-80: RepeatingCoursesA student is limited to attempt any givencourse a maximum of three (3) times. Attemptsare defined as earning a grade in a class orlate-dropping the class. Any exceptions to thethree-attempt limit must be approved by theappropriate academic official within a student'scollege of enrollment.In situations where a student withdraws from theuniversity (Policy 56-30) these courses will not becounted as one of the three allowed attempts ongiven courses.A course in which a grade of C or better wasobtained may only be repeated if writtenevidence of consultation is obtained
