Along with the minimum eligibility requirements, international students hailing from non-English speaking countries need to prove English proficiency through IELTS/TOEFL/any equivalent test to get admission to this program.

 

VISA

For most students, this will be an F-1 Student Visa, although there are additional visa classifications that cover credit-based study.

 

Process to Obtain an F-1 Student Visa:

The first step in the process of attending Stanford is to apply.  If offered admission, the next step is to complete an acceptance process. This process includes the submission of the following three documents:

 

• Declaration of Finance: An online form completed as part of the Stanford acceptance process.
• Proof of Funding Document: A letter or statement from the financial institution or from the family’s financial institution, verifying that there are funds sufficient to cover the program’s full cost as stated on the Declaration of Finance. This document must be shown in U.S. dollars. 
• Current Passport Photocopy: A copy of the identification page(s) of the passport.

 

Once all acceptance items have been received and students have been assigned a Stanford ID number, Stanford University will generate their I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant F-1 Student Status).

 

After students receive their I-20, the following items must be completed by the student in order to obtain an F-1 Student Visa:

 

• Pay the SEVIS fee to the U.S. Government and obtain a receipt.
• Arrange an F-1 Visa appointment at the local U.S. Embassy or Consulate after they have received an I-20 and paid the SEVIS fee.
• Present the following items at the visa Appointment:
  • Original I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant F-1 Student Status)
  • I-901 SEVIS Fee Receipt
  • Stanford University Admission Letter
  • Original Proof of Funding Document
  • Valid Passport
  • 2 Passport-Size Photos

The cost of studying at Stanford University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay $57693 annually, to study in Stanford University

 

The civil engineering profession is concerned with the built environment. Civil engineers plan,design and construct major facilities including highways, transit systems, dams, tunnels, energy facilities, harbors, canals, buildings and bridges. Civil engineers help manage our air, water and energy resources and help protect society from natural catastrophes, such as earthquakes, as well as dealing with the hazards society itself generates in the form of toxic wastes.
 

The undergraduate major in Civil Engineering (CE) provides for two alternative tracks, one focusing on structures and construction and the second focusing on environmental and water studies. The CE degree program is ABET accredited and prepares students for professional practice or possible graduate study in engineering or other fields.
