Online Civil and Environmental Engineering Program

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department in the College of Engineering was the first to offer an online master's degree at the university. During the Fall of 2003, the on-line feature was added to the long standing evening masters program to create an interactive class environment. This unique program allows you the opportunity to earn one of two degrees, depending on your undergraduate background. Please see the website or catalog for the degree requirements. The degrees are:

  • MSWREE - Master of Science in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering
  • MSCE - Master of Science in Civil Engineering

The department also offers a certificate, composed of 4 of the courses from the catalog. Should you choose to continue your education beyond the certificate, these courses also count towards your master's degree. Currently, the CEE department offers 1 certificate. It is:

Below is a typical schedule of online courses. All courses are subject to change.
