课程

First year civil engineering students at NDSU begin their education with fundamental courses in English, 化学, 数学和工程科学入门. 第二年的课程更加具体，重点是测量, 数学, 物理和工程科学课程. The third-year students preview the specialization areas of civil engineering. 这些是(1)环境工程, (2)岩土, (3)结构, (4)运输, (5)水资源 . 大四继续要求某些课程，但也提供12小时的技术选修课和高级设计项目. 技术选修课允许学生在她/他/他们打算从事专业实践的土木工程领域学习额外的课程. 目前, there are 51 core civil engineering and technical elective courses from which the student may choose.

4 + 1项目

BSCE + MSCE(4+1)项目为当前土木工程专业的学生提供了在5年内完成土木工程硕士学位(MSCE)的机会(在学士学位之外再增加一年)。. The accelerated Master's program requires at least a total of 30 semester credits. 土木工程学士课程最多9个学分(三门课程)可以重复计算到MSCE课程中. 然而，这些课程必须在600或700年级学习. 从这个意义上说, the interested students could accelerate the Master's study by reducing three courses, 这样他们就可以在一年内修完剩余的21个学分并完成硕士论文并毕业, 而土木工程学士学位的技术选修课程的总学分和设计学分要求保持不变.

需要单独申请4+1课程. 三年级(累计学分75学分以上)平均累积绩点3分以上者可申请入学.5. 申请的审查程序将按照现行的硕士学位研究生招生政策进行.

乐虎集团程序:

• 有兴趣和符合条件的学生必须提交一份 联合/加速课程学位课程声明 把表格交到系办公室.
• 下一个, 学生的学术顾问将评估是否将研究生课程替换为本科课程, 然后由系主任进行最后的审查和批准. A maximum of 9 graduate student credits* may be applied to the undergraduate degree.
• 在收到上述必要的批准后, 学生将此表提交研究生院，并正式申请入读研究生课程.
• 所有研究生院的录取都是有条件的. 最低条件是在完成硕士课程之前完成学士学位, 保持3.他们在研究生班的累积绩点是0.
• 本科课程不得计入硕士学位.
• 持有学士学位的学生进入硕士学位课程时，不能使用作为学士课程一部分的课程来满足硕士学位的要求, 即使那些课程是研究生水平的课程.
• 学生必须满足MSCE项目通常要求的所有要求.

*研究生学费将被评估为被批准的研究生学分，用于重复计算本科和研究生课程的学习要求. 重复计算的研究生学分将计入经济援助总额, 但不包括在学费上限之内. Mandatory student fees, however, are capped at 12 credits, regardless of program.

** Note: A substitution form is required for the 600/700-level courses to officially apply to the BS degree. 这是在他们注册课程后提交的。.

土木工程专业的学生也可以选择通过4+1加速BSCE + MCM课程获得硕士学位, which requires at least a total of 30 course credits plus a professional exam. 土木工程学士课程的9个学分(三门课程)可以重复计算到建筑管理硕士(MCM)课程中. 这些课程必须在600或700级学习，学生可以在五年内完成加速课程. 土木工程学士学位所需的总学分和设计学分(来自技术选修课程)保持不变.
