The master's program in civil engineering is designed to provide students with the technical and professional knowledge necessary to develop their abilities to seek creative solutions to complex problems in their field of interest. The program involves advanced courses in the areas of structural analysis and design, transportation engineering, water resources, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, and project management, as well as science and mathematics.
Flexibility is achieved by designing programs of study to meet individual needs.
University master's degree requirements must be met. The master's program consists of three options available to students. The first option involves a total of 45 credits, including 5-9 hours of thesis. The second option requires completion of 48 credit hours, including 4 hours of research credits that include a research report, and the third, completion of 48 credit hours of approved graduate coursework.
