Prospective Graduate Students

If you are considering our M.S. or Ph.D. Programs, you must apply through the Graduate School for full consideration. You can find the pertinent information for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the CEE website:
http://cee.illinois.edu/programs/Grad/GradApps
There you will find application instructions, requisites, deadlines, as well as links to request information. I’m glad to talk about research projects and will do my best to help you through the process, but for administrative issues is better to ask them directly. Please don’t forget to indicate in your application that you would be interested in working with Prof. Tinoco in the Water Resources Engineering and Science program.

Undergraduate Students

If you are interested in the CEE-REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) Program, please keep an eye on the strict application deadlines, usually within the first two weeks of each semester (Spring, Summer and Fall).
