I loved being in the program at UAB. Although frustrating at times, I do not regret one bit the time and effort and expense I invested in myself. Every single day I use something that I learned from the program.
Admission requirements for the Master's of Engineering in Construction Engineering Management (CEM) are:
Bachelor’s degree (any discipline) from a regionally accredited U.S. College or University. CEM promotes a multi-discipline learning experience and therefore an engineering undergraduate degree is not required.
No GRE/GMAT required from students with qualifying degrees from U.S. colleges or universities.
International students are required to have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a science-related field and must submit TOEFL, IELTS, PTEA, IELA, or Duolingo scores. Duolingo scores are preferred by the UAB Graduate School. A minimum TOEFL score of 80† is required.
