Application Instructions
The following information is provided to help the prospective student successfully apply for admission to the Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering graduate programs at the University of New Mexico. Although Graduate Studies strives to keep this information up-to-date, we still encourage you to visit the program's website to verify application instructions and required materials.
Please note: application instructions for the Construction Management program are different than those listed below.
International students (including non-U.S. citizens on a visa) generally must complete additional steps to apply to a graduate program at UNM. Please see the International Admissions website for more information.

| APPLICATION CATEGORY | SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS |
| Program of Interest | Select: School of Engineering > Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering > Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering > Civil Engineering > Select MS, MENG, or PhD Civil Engineering |
| Educational Background | Students with an engineering degree in another field may be admitted directly to the program, provided they satisfy all other admissions criteria. However, they may need to take some undergraduate courses that are prerequisites for graduate courses in their field of study. This course sequence must be determined on an individual basis and will depend on the student’s background and intended program of study. The preparatory course sequence will be selected in consultation with the CE faculty in the student’s intended area of study. Students without an undergraduate engineering degree can be admitted to the program but must take a sequence of undergraduate classes with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and no grade below a “C.” This sequence of classes is available on the department website. See the program website for more details. |
| Test Scores | GRE required. A minimum combined score of 300 on the verbal and quantitative sections is required. An official score report is required, sent directly from the testing center to UNM. Starting in the Spring 2024, the GRE requirement is waived for students graduating from an ABET-accredited program (see list of accredited institutions and programs here: https://amspub.abet.org/aps/). |
| Letter of Intent | The letter of intent should summarize your qualifications and professional goals, and indicate the area of civil engineering which you want to pursue. Please try to limit to 2 pages. |
| CV/Resume | Not required for acceptance, but highly recommended. |
| Relevant Coursework | A minimum GPA of 3.0 (or equivalent) is required over the last two undergraduate years in science, math, and engineering courses. Enter in this section all science, math, and engineering courses taken over last two undergraduate years with course grades. |
| Video/Audio Link | Not required for acceptance, but may be uploaded if you wish to include in your application file. |
| Assistantship Interest | To be considered for assistantships, applications should be received by the deadlines indicated above. |
| Recommendations | Three letters of recommendation are required. |
