Master of Science in Civil Engineering

Course Delivery: In-class, some online
Total Credits: 30

Classes are held primarily on campus in the day and evening with some online course offerings.

Educational Objectives

• Demonstrate a strong fundamental scientific and technical knowledge base and critical thinking skills.
• Actively engage in lifelong learning related to the civil engineering profession.
• Plan, design, analyze, develop, organize, and manage civil and environmental engineering projects.
• Demonstrate expertise in a major sub-discipline of civil engineering: structural engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental, or water resources engineering.

Student Outcomes

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
3. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

• Successful completion of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution of higher education in civil or environmental engineering. Other engineering science disciplines will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• An undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) is required for admission. Candidates with an undergraduate GPA between 2.7 and 2.99 will be considered for conditional admittance.
• Programming competence
• Candidates with an undergraduate degree not accredited by ABET are encouraged to submit a GRE score from the past five years.
