The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Syracuse University was established by the Board of Trustees in 1876. Graduate degrees have been awarded since the 1920's. Civil and Environmental Engineering is one of four departments within the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The department has a long tradition of excellence in graduate teaching and research. Graduate students work closely with their faculty advisors on a variety of research projects. The CEE faculty has a wide range of research and teaching interests. The graduate programs are divided into two disciplines: Civil Engineering and Environment Engineering. Degrees in Civil Engineering are chosen to include an emphasis in Construction Engineering and Management, Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, or Structural and Materials Engineering. Degrees in Environmental Engineering can encompass a broad range of topics or can be more focused on water quality, hydrology, air quality, sustainable infrastructure, or other topics.
We encourage you to become familiar with the research areas in the Department, to reach out to our faculty for support, and to become actively engaged in the Department community. One way we encourage our students to become involved is by attending the seminar series we hold throughout the academic year. This is an opportunity to learn about advances in the academic community and to network with faculty and students from across campus.
We are committed to helping you achieve your career goals. Students can take full advantage of what the University has to offer by learning about the graduate resources available in the College and the campus resources available at the University.
For the most current information about your degree of study, you can refer to the Graduate Undergraduate Course Catalog. The Graduate School maintains a checklist of Graduate Requirements that all graduate students should be familiar with to ensure they are on track for degree completion. This site also has many necessary forms, dates and deadlines, and access to resources.

An undergraduate student can take 600 level graduate courses by submitting a petition. Seniors are often well-prepared for these courses, and are encouraged to consider them as technical or professional electives. However, undergraduate students are not allowed to take course numbered 700 or above.
19.0 Can a student take courses outside of SU to count toward
...
their degree?
Yes, provided that the course credits and content are comparable to those of the SU course and that a petition is filed and approved. Also, the student must obtain a grade of C or better for the course to be transferable. Note that only the course credits but not the course grade, will be transferred. Courses taken outside of SU will not be used to compute the student’s GPA, nor can they be used to flag any grades on the student’s transcript.
20.0 Can a student enroll through University College (UC) to complete
...
their degree?
No, unless the student has already spent at least eight semesters at SU as a full-time student. After completion of at least eight full semesters at SU, students who need to register for eleven or less credits to complete their degree requirements can petition to enroll at UC and pay UC tuition on a per-credit basis. However, doing so means the student will lose his/her their full-time status, which may affect the terms of his/her financial their financial aid eligibility for family health insurance and other benefits.

If a student is a domestic student, he/she can register for less than 12 hours of coursework in a given semester. However, by doing so the student becomes a part-time student and this may affect the terms of his/her their financial aid. If the student is an international student on F-1 visa, registering for less than 12 hours in a given semester other than the last semester is a violation of U.S. Immigration Law. To ensure that no problem will arise, you should contact the Slutzker Center of International Services for assistance.

It depends on the situation. If the transfer student knows how to use computer software for drafting, spreadsheets and math (e.g., AutoCAD, EXCEL, Mathcad, MATLAB, etc.), he/she probably does not need to take ECS 101. He/she should be advised to petition to apply any unused math, science, engineering, or technology credits toward ECS 101. If there are no unused math, science, engineering or technology credits, he/she should be advised to take a math/science/engineering course that is appropriate for his/her their discipline and use the credits for ECS 101.
