2013–2014 The Bulletin - USS at Tufts - Tufts University

Civil and Environmental Engineering >
Bioinformatics, Biomaterials, Biomechanical
Systems and Devices, Cell and Bioprocess Engineering,
Environmental Biotechnology, and Signals
and Systems.
The bioengineering master’s program has two
components: an interdisciplinary core curriculum,
including one class outside of students’ chosen
sub-specialty to increase the breadth of bioengineering
knowledge, and courses required by the
student’s home department for each chosen track.
The majority of students in CEE will select the
Environmental Biotechnology track. Additional
information on this program is provided on the
School of Engineering website:
http://engineering.tufts.edu/academics/
gradprograms/bioengineering.htm.
For graduate students who are interested in Urban
and Environmental Policy, the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering participates in a
joint degree program offered in association with the
Department of Urban and Environmental Policy
and Planning.
Continuing Education Programs
Post-Baccalaureate in Civil and Environmental
Engineering
The Post-Baccalaureate (Post-Bac) program is
intended 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
1-year program is designed to prepare students for
graduate study in Civil & Environmental Engineering.
Accepted students develop an individualized
plan of study based on their academic background
and goals. A total of five Tufts courses are
required to complete the program.
Core Engineering requirement:
ES 5 Intro. to Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics
Foundation elective (select one):
ES 8 Fluid Mechanics
ES 9 Applied Mechanics: Strength of Materials
Concentration Elective (select one):
CEE 12 Hydraulic Eng.
CEE 22 Structural Analysis
CEE 32 Environmental Eng. Principles
CEE 42 Intro. to Geotechnical Eng.
Elective courses (select two in consultation with
your advisor)
Students in the post-bac program must satisfy all
course prerequisites listed on Tufts Bulletin. Courses
numbered above 100 can be used for graduate
credit, and are transferable into the Tufts graduate
program. Completion of the post-bac program does
not guarantee admission into the graduate program.
Students may take ES 5 and/or ES 9 during the
summer session. Please see the Tufts Summer
Session for more information:

Certificate Program in Environmental Management
A five-course graduate-level certificate program in
Environmental Management is designed for
students with a bachelor’s degree and at least two
years of work experience. Additionally, students
should have some knowledge of current environmental
issues, and should have undergraduate
coursework in natural or physical science, mathematics,
or engineering. The certificate programs
can be completed on a part-time, non-degree basis
by students who are seeking professional training
in the field or are preparing for a degree program.
In most cases, courses taken as a certificate student
can be transferred into a related master’s degree
program in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering.
Certificate students must complete five graduate
course credits from the clusters listed below.
Students must take at least one course from each
concentration area listed below. The remaining two
courses for the certificate can be selected from any
of the areas.
