Certification is awarded on the basis of each student's record at WSU and previous educational performance. The number of students certified into the department depends upon the available resources and facilities. The best qualified students, based on cumulative GPA and grades in the prerequisite courses listed above will be certified into the department until the carrying capacity is reached. Preference will be given to applications received before April 15 for the fall semester and November 15 for the spring semester. Transfer Students - Students who are planning to transfer to civil engineering at Washington State University from other institutions should coordinate their program with the department chairperson to establish an integrated program leading to the bachelor's degree.
Inquiries concerning specific questions are welcome.
A strong preparation in mathematics and physics is necessary prior to transfer to minimize the time required to complete the degree requirements. The requirements for direct entry into the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering upon transfer are the same as listed above for certification. Applications from transfer students will be handled by the Admissions Office. The costs of higher education at WSU have increased sharply in recent years. Financial aid is available in the form of scholarships from the department and the University.
