Civil Engineering, M.S.CE

(MCE)

There are two options leading to the master’s degree in civil engineering. The thesis-option MS requires a minimum of 25 credit hours of approved coursework, 6 hours of thesis credit (CE 8000 ) and an acceptable thesis defended in a final examination. The non-thesis option MS requires a minimum of 37 hours of approved coursework (including 3 hours of master’s project work, CE 7740 , toward an acceptable master’s report), and a comprehensive final examination. Either option requires one hour of CE 7750  included in the course credit hours. Additional curricular requirements include:

• Some concentrations within Civil Engineering may have core course requirements that must be earned. These can be found on the department graduate program website.
• At least 50% of the required minimum course credit hours must be at the 7000-level.
• At least 50% of the required minimum course credit hours must be in Civil Engineering courses.
