POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO
CIVIL ENGINEERING PROGRAM
All students that are admitted to the Civil Engineering Program must show evidence that they have acquired the
academic abilities and skills necessary to progress through this major. Those not demonstrating the complete
acquisition of these abilities and skills (as reflected by the results of their College Entrance Examination Board test,
results in PUPR placement test, previous university experience, or other tests or criteria) will be required to take
preparatory courses. These courses are designed to help them overcome deficiencies in languages, mathematics, and
science. These preparatory courses are in addition to the 149 credits of the Civil Engineering Program. The
preparatory courses are the following:
