To earn the MSCE degree, the candidate would normally hold a Bachelor of Science
in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree from an ABET accredited program or its
equivalent. A candidate is eligible to pursue the MSWREE degree
provided he/she can present evidence of proficiency in mathematics, basic
science, and engineering science. See the Department Admission Requirements page for
more details.A minimum of 30 earned semester credits of graduate work is required, and 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, a
three-credit research/investigation course and a six-credit thesis
- twenty-seven earned credits of graduate courses, and a three credit
research/investigation course.
Students are encouraged, but not required, to
