MEng in Construction Engineering & Management

We do not require a set of official transcripts be sent to the department. However, applicants should upload their unofficial transcripts with their application by the deadline. The unofficial transcript will be used to make Departmental application decisions. Applicants that are attending or graduated from a U.S. institution should upload a copy of their official transcript for each Bachelor’s, Master’s, Professional or Doctoral degree earned or in progress through their ApplyWeb application account. Do not upload academic records printed from your school’s website or student portal. For non-degree transcripts, only upload a transcript if credit has not been transferred from the non-degree course to your transcript in which you earned your degree. If you are recommended for admission, the Rackham Graduate School will require official transcripts. Recommended applicants will receive an email notification when the official transcripts are required for submission. At that time, you can request an official transcript be sent to Rackham either through a transcript service or via mail to their office. Applicants who attended or graduated from non-U.S. institutions should upload copies of official transcripts and degree documents with their application through ApplyWeb. You will also need to submit official copies direct to Rackham at the application stage through the directions found on Rackham’s website.

Our department requires three letters of recommendation. They should be from professors, employers or others who know you well. These should be submitted with your online application.

In this document, you should indicate how your personal background and life experiences, including social, cultural, familial, educational or other opportunities or challenges have motivated your decision to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Michigan. This is not an Academic Statement of Purpose, but a discussion of the personal journey that has led to your decision to seek a graduate degree.

We require that you submit a resume or curriculum vitae.

This is a chance for you to give the Admissions Committee details about your academic background and career aspirations. You will want to talk about your engineering experiences, your motivation for pursuing a higher degree, your long-term goals, as well as your specific interests. Academic Statement of Purpose should be a page or a little over a page long.
