The Graduate School: Departments and Course Descriptions
who obtain their B.S.E. degree from the University of Arkansas will
have completed the prerequisite course requirements for entry into the
M.A.T. program. Students who obtain a bachelors degree from another
university and/or in a program area other than Elementary Education
must have their transcripts evaluated by an Elementary Education program
adviser to determine what deficiencies must be met before they
can be considered for admission into the M.A.T. program. The M.A.T.
degree program is a 33-semester-hour program. To be recommended
for licensure by the University of Arkansas, students must complete
the M.A.T. degree program. Students also choose either a sub-specialty
area of special education or English as a second language.
Prerequisites to Degree Program: Enrollments will be limited in
upper division professional studies courses in the Childhood Education
B.S.E. Program. In addition, a maximum number of 75 students will
be accepted into the M.A.T. Program in Childhood Education, contingent
upon availability of placements with partnership schools. Specific
application procedures and selection criteria are in effect to limit
course enrollments and acceptance to the M.A.T. program. Please contact
your childhood education faculty adviser for details regarding the
selective admission process. Admission requirements for the M.A.T.
degree program for initial certification are as follows:
1. Completion of an appropriate undergraduate degree program
2. Cumulative GPA of 3.00 in the last 60 hours of the baccalaureate
degree
3. Admission to the Graduate School
4. Admission to the Teacher Education Program
5. Screening/Acceptance into partner school internship
6. Completion of the pre-education core with a minimum of “C”
in all courses
7. Completion of all prerequisite courses in teaching field
8. Payment of internship fee.
Requirements for the Master of Arts in Teaching Degree:

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering program is intended
primarily for students possessing the Bachelor of Science in Civil
Engineering degree. Students with degrees from other engineering
disciplines may be admitted to the program but will be required to
complete some undergraduate civil engineering courses as preparation
for their graduate studies. The specific courses required will
depend on the emphasis of their graduate studies.
The objectives of the M.S.C.E. program are to provide a greater
depth of understanding of civil engineering topics for the practice of
engineering and to serve as preparation for doctoral studies. Students
are allowed a great deal of flexibility in designing their course of
study. Students desiring to develop a deeper understanding of one
sub-discipline area may select courses solely concentrated in that area
while those desiring a broader-based education may select courses
from several sub-disciplines including courses from other disciplines.
Primary Areas of Faculty Research: The Department of Civil
Engineering has ongoing research programs in the environmental/
water resources, geotechnical, structural, and transportation areas.
The following is a more detailed listing of topics currently being
studied in each of these areas:
Environmental/water resources area: Water and wastewater
treatment; decentralized collection and treatment systems; soil
and groundwater remediation; surface and ground water quality;
storm water pollution prevention; environmental and hydrologic
modeling; water quality studies.
Geotechnical area: Aggregates and base materials; geosynthetic
reinforcement; embankment and slope stability; field instrumentation
and measurement of soil properties; soil and groundwater
remediation using geosynthetics; GIS application to geotechnical
engineering; foundation design.
Structural area: High performance concrete; structural materials;
bridge deck rehabilitation; computational mechanics; computational
wind engineering and tornado modeling; structural
earthquake analysis and modeling; structural steel design and
analysis.
Transportation area: Facility design; roadway geometrics; traffic
operations and safety; pavement design and rehabilitation;
asphalt concrete mixture design; construction materials charac-
