Civil Engineering

Master of Science (M.Sc.) Degree in Civil Engineering

Requirements:

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering degree requires the completion of 36 units of course work at the graduate level in civil engineering. The graduate civil engineering program has concentrations in the specialities of water resources, environmental/sanitary engineering, transportation engineering, structures, geotechnical engineering, materials and urban systems.

Prerequisites:

An earned Bachelor's degree or its equivalent in Civil Engineering, or a related area.

Prescriptive Education:

The student must complete no fewer than 20 academic units of the program through instructional course work from this Institute. A maximum of 16 units of courses may be accepted in transfer from other institutions or accepted in the form of appropriately documented professional experience. Due to prevailing state or Federal regulations, the award of experiential credits is limited to a maximum of 20% of total required for the Master's degree program. The Master's degree can he completed with or without a thesis.
