stress modern engineering methods for the solution of detailed and complex
problems, and emphasize the concepts of analysis and design coupled with
engineering judgment.
Students may undertake a program in:
As noted below, a student in a Civil and Environmental Engineering graduate program may elect to
pursue a Master of Science thesis. Students are encouraged, but not required, to
write a thesis. Additionally the Water Resources and Environmental Engineering
programs are offered through real time
Distance Education.
All three graduate degrees in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering require a minimum of 30 earned semester credits of graduate work. A
minimum of 21 graduate credits must be in Civil and Environmental Engineering
courses. A Plan of Study must be approved by the advisor and chairperson prior
to the completion of the student's initial semester of graduate study. For
approval, the plan must indicate a topical focus and direction commensurate with
a master’s program. Guided by his/her advisor, a student may select a Plan of
Study consisting of:
- thirty earned credits of graduate courses
- a thesis track consisting of twenty-one earned credits of graduate
courses, and a three-credit research/investigation course and a six-credit
thesis
- or twenty-seven earned credits of graduate courses, and a three-credit
research/investigation course.
