I looked at other colleges, but I was sold on UAB after the interview process. Thank you for building such a great program. It met my expectation and I will promote the program every chance I get.
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.

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.
