INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRE EXAM
GRE scores are a standard requirement for admission to the UW Graduate School, and are required for admission to the Graduate Program in Construction Engineering. The requirement for the GRE may be waived for individuals who have earned an advanced degree (master's or higher) from accredited U.S. institutions. Please contact the department reviewing your application to inquire about a waiver (see contact information).
To schedule a GRE exam, call 1-800-GRE-CALL, or see the GRE Web site at www.gre.org. To obtain copies of your GRE scores, call 1-888-GRE-SCORE.

For those who either are not sure about the degree or are concerned about their academic and professional backgrounds, another option is to enroll first as a graduate nonmatriculated (GNM) student. GNM students are not presently seeking a degree, but may apply a maximum of 12 graduate level credits toward degree requirements should they be accepted into a graduate program. It is important to note that acceptance as a GNM student does not imply admission to a graduate degree program.
GNM application instructions are listed with the Graduate application instructions.

INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
Because the Online Graduate Program in Construction Engineering is completely online and does not require students to attend classes on campus in the United States, international students in the program are not eligible for student visas or financial aid.
Special application instructions
Application deadlines for international applicants are the same as those for U.S. students, however, it is recommended that international applicants submit their applications 3-6 months before the posted application deadlines to allow for transcript evaluation.
English language proficiency
The graduate school requires international applicants, immigrants to the United States, and permanent residents of the United States, whose native language is not English and who have not received a bachelor's or master's degree from an accredited U.S. institution, to submit a valid Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score. Only official TOEFLscore reports less than two years old will be accepted.
Citizens of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom are exempt from the TOEFL requirement, as are applicants with bachelor's or master's degrees from Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom.
For additional information or to make arrangements to take the TOEFL, contact the Educational Testing Service at www.toefl.org. Scores should be reported to Institution Code 4854.
The Michigan Language Test (MLT) may be taken instead of the TOEFL.
Information on the Michigan Language Test can be found at http://www.washington.edu/oea/services/testing_center/exams/mlt.html.
A minimum score of 580 (TOEFL) or 237 (TOEFLC), or 90 on the MLT, is required for admission to the Online Graduate Program in Construction Engineering.

Applicants whose undergraduate degree is in a field other than Construction Management or Civil Engineering may take the necessary prerequisite courses by enrolling in the UW Certificate Program in Construction Management. This program is offered in an online format and includes undergraduate courses in construction safety, construction estimating, project planning and control, and project management. At least one of these courses must be completed prior to applying to the M.S. in Construction Management; the others may be completed concurrently with the graduate program. Information on these prerequisite courses – including contact information for additional questions about the certificate program – can be found on the certificate program's website. If you have questions about eligibility for the master's degree program, please contact us.
