All students at Seattle University must have a major field of study into which they have been admitted. In the College of Science and Engineering students apply for entry into a particular department and are admitted according to their qualifications and the availability of openings. This section describes the various routes for admission into the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. More information on the admissions process and the application are available from the Admissions Office (www.seattleu.edu/home/prospective_students/).
Students may apply to be admitted to the department at any time during the year. Usually the application will be acted upon immediately. Sometimes, though, consideration of an application will be delayed until after a student has completed additional preparation courses.
Because of the department's size, individual required courses are usually offered only once or twice a year, and some elective courses may be offered only every other year. The department's staffing, equipment, and laboratory resources limit the number of students that can be graduated to approximately 40 per year. Transfer students wishing to enter the program should apply at least three months prior to the desired quarter so that adequate planning time is available in order to ensure a smooth transition.
Please consult the Admissions Policy section of the current Seattle University Undergraduate Bulletin of Information for general admissions rules for the University. Specific minimum admissions criteria for civil and environmental engineering are contained in Seattle University Policy #81-4 which can be found in Appendix II. Application materials can be obtained from the above web site or by contacting the Admissions Office.
