Admission Requirements

The Infrastructure Renewal Certificate Program is open to all persons holding a B.S., M.S., Ph.D. degree or equivalent. To be admitted to the graduate certificate program, the student should have earned an average cumulative grade of 3.0 (out of 4.0) or better in the B.S (or equivalent) degree or was ranked in the top third of his/her undergraduate class. For those lacking the minimum required entrance grade, they should have a minimum of 12-months of post-B.S. professional employment experience.

Once admitted to the program, the student must take four designated courses as given below. In order to receive a Graduate Certificate, the student must have an average cumulative grade of 3.0 or better in the certificate courses.

Students admitted to the Certificate program will have non-matriculated status; however, if they complete the four-course sequence with a grade of B or better in each of the courses taken, they will be admitted to the M.S. program if they so choose. The Certificate credits taken by students admitted to the M.S. program will count towards their master’s degrees. Students who do not have all of the prerequisite courses necessary to take the course in the Certificate program will be allowed to take “bridge” courses at either the graduate or undergraduate level to prepare for the formal Certificate Courses.

Once admitted to the program, a student will be given three years to complete the program so long as he/she maintains a B average in the courses taken.
