Dear Prospective Applicant,

Welcome and thank you for your interest in graduate programs in the Old Dominion University. This preapplication form will be used to advise you whether you should formally apply for admission to graduate programs in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. (If you're looking for information on undergraduate programs, please visit our undergraduate degree programs page)

Once you submit this preapplication form on-line, you will receive a letter informing you about our recommendation. There is no fee for this preapplication, and the purpose of this procedure is to save you time and money if you do not have a reasonably good chance for admission to our program.
