The Environmental
Engineering Program is cooperating with the Civil, Environmental, and
Architectural Engineering Department to offer concurrent EVEN BS/CVEN
MS degrees in a five-year curriculum (currently, this is the only concurrent
BS/MS degree that includes the EVEN BS degree). The
purpose of the concurrent EVEN BS/CVEN MS degrees is to allow capable
students to gain greater depth of knowledge in environmental engineering
by jointly pursuing BS and MS degrees. The concurrent degree program
offers students greater flexibility in scheduling technical electives
and graduate courses and to enable them to obtain BS and MS degrees
in five years.
To fit the BS and
MS degrees in only five years, students are allowed to count two technical
elective courses (6 credit hours) taken at the graduate level (5000-level
and above) for both the EVEN BS and CVEN MS degrees. Students must first
complete the four-year Environmental Engineering
Bachelor of Science curriculum; they then complete the requirements
of the CVEN MS degree. Typically, the MS degree would be pursued in
the graduate programs of either Environmental
Engineering or Water
Resources Engineering in the Civil, Environmental, and Architectural
Engineering Department.
Students seeking
to pursue the concurrent EVEN BS/CVEN MS degrees must achieve a minimum
grade point average of 3.25 when they submit an application for admission
to the program. Students are expected to submit an application during
the sixth or seventh semester of their undergraduate program in EVEN
(75 to 110 credit hours). Applications are made to the Graduate Committee
of the Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering Department.
The following items are needed to complete an application:
- Concurrent EVEN
BS/CVEN MS Degrees application form (available from the EVEN Program
Coordinator)
Four letters
of recommendation
University of
Colorado Application for Graduate Admission form, Part II only
Certification
by the EVEN Program that the required number of coursework hours have
been completed
Copy of internal
transcript
The application deadlines
are April 30 for admission to the program for the following fall and October
30 for admission for the following spring semester. No fee is required
for the application.
Once accepted into
the EVEN BS/CVEN MS program, students must maintain full-time status
with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 to remain in the program. In addition,
to count the two graduate courses (6 credit hours) for both the EVEN
BS and CVEN MS degrees, the student must achieve a grade point average
of at least 3.5 in the 24 credit hours taken immediately after admission
to the program. For the CVEN MS, students may complete the requirements
for either the Plan I (thesis) or Plan II (course work only) Master
of Science degrees.
Students admitted
to the concurrent EVEN BS/CVEN MS degrees program who do not meet the
requirements for completing the concurrent degrees or who elect not
to complete the concurrent degrees may count appropriate graduate courses
toward the technical elective (up to 9 credit hours) and option course
(up to 12 credit hours) requirements for the EVEN BS.
Students pursuing
the EVEN BS/CVEN BS dual degrees are encouraged to seek advice from
one of the Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering faculty
participating in the Environmental Engineering Program (see the faculty
list).
