Bridge Program

Students who do not have a bachelor's degree in civil or environmental engineering, but who want to obtain a master's degree in environmental engineering must complete a bridge program for their chosen area of specialization. These courses are not counted for degree credit. See the areas of specialization in this section for specific bridge programs. Please note that prerequisites for bridge courses also must be met. See the undergraduate catalog for descriptions of 100- to 400-level courses. Some of the bridge courses may be waived depending on the student's background. 

Bridge Courses 

  • CHEM 126: General Chemistry II
  • CE 320: Fluid Mechanics 
  • CE 321: Water Resources Engineering 
  • CE 341 / 341A: Soil Mechanics / Soils Lab

Certificate Option

As an alternate path to graduate study, NJIT offers a variety of certificate programs. Credits earned for certificate courses can be applied toward the MS degree if you decide to matriculate in the future.

Internships and co-op employment opportunities are available through NJIT Career Development Services for students working on certificates as well as the MS degree. For more information, visit www.njit.edu/cds.
