Post-Baccalaureate in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Prepare to attend graduate school in Civil and Environmental Engineering!

At Tufts, we offer a Post-Baccalaureate (Post-Bac) program for academically talented, highly motivated students, with at least a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree (BS or BA) in disciplines with relevant mathematics and science content. The concentrated and rigorous Post-Bac program is specifically designed to prepare students for graduate study in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Accepted students will develop an individualized plan of study with their academic advisor based on their academic history and professional goals.

Program of Study
The Post-Bac program requires five, 1-credit hour Tufts courses, and is designed to be completed in one year. ES 5 and ES 9 may be taken during the summer session (http://ase.tufts.edu/summer/).

  1. Required (1 course/1 credit hour)
    • ES 5 Statics / Dynamics
       
  2. Foundation Elective (1 course/1 credit hour)
    • ES 8 Fluid Mechanics
    • ES 9 Strength of Materials
       
  3. Concentration Elective (1 course/1 credit hour)
    • CEE 12 Hydraulics Engineering

* Students in the Post-Bac program need to satisfy all course prerequisites listed on Tufts Bulletin.
** Courses numbered above 100 award graduate credit, and are transferable into the Tufts graduate program in Civil and Environmental Engineering upon acceptance into the graduate program.  Completion of the Post-Bac program does not guarantee admission to the graduate program in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Tuition:
Post-Bac students pay a reduced course rate of $3,430 for each 1.0 hr required course (2012-2013).
