Attendance and labs

Bachelor's programs include materials, soils and hydraulics laboratories and surveying field work; online master's programs in structural, geotechnical, transportation or water resources engineering are typically coursework-based.

Accreditation and licensure

Every school listed holds institutional accreditation from a recognized agency. ABET accredits programs, mostly bachelor's degrees; graduate programs are rarely ABET-accredited and that is not a mark against them. Professional Engineer licensure is decided by each state board. Licensure and online degrees

Admissions: what these programs publish

Prior degree requirements — usually a bachelor's in engineering or a closely related field for graduate programs.
Minimum GPA, as published on the program or graduate school page.
Mathematics and science prerequisites (calculus, differential equations, physics).
Bridge or leveling courses for applicants without the expected background.
GRE policy, references, statement and English-language requirements are shown per program; unpublished items stay “not verified”.

School or program keyword

Physical attendance

“Fully online” needs the school's own statement that no campus visits, labs or residencies are required.

Labs

ABET accreditation

Matched to ABET's own database. Most graduate programs are not ABET-reviewed.

Classification

Engineering Technology is a related classification, never counted as engineering.

Delivery

Hybrid programs meet in person regularly; they are related options.

Bachelor's entry route

Only routes the university publishes for the program.

School

School location (state)

Where the school is based — not where you must live, and not proof that residents of that state may enroll.

Institution type

Schedule & length

Study intensity

Online class schedule

Only where the school states it.

Published length

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Cost, admissions & funding

Tuition

Estimated total = published per-credit rate × required credits (or a published program total), using the rate for all online students or nonresidents. Fees excluded. Programs without comparable data never match. How it works

GRE policy

Missing GRE information never counts as “not required”.

Funding

Campus assistantships are not assumed to apply to distance students.

Published enrollment restrictions

Programs whose school publishes state authorization restrictions for online students.

Deadline

Order

Reset

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, unpublished attendance rules are not “fully online”, and an unmatched program is not ABET-accredited.
