The graduate program in Civil Engineering offers programs of study in Geotechnical Engineering, Hydrosystems Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Water Resources Engineering.

Three degree programs are offered:

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.C.E.) program has both thesis and non-thesis options. The thesis option requires a minimum of 21 credit hours in addition to the thesis which is written and defended in front of faculty committee. The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 36 credit hours, including a 3-credit research project.

The Master of Civil Engineering (M.C.E.) program is intended to prepare students for professional practice in Civil engineering and requires a minimum of 30 credit hours.

NEW!! MCE Option in Urban Stormwater Management (USM) is intended to meet the increasing demand for specialized urban stormwater management engineers. The program will focus on the storm water management practices in the public and private sectors. The Courses will include the state-of-the-art practical and numerical approaches to solve complex problems related to urban stormwater management and meet the state and federal regulations. The 10-course program totals 30 credit hours.

NEW!! MCE Option in Project and Construction Management (PCM) is intended to meet the increasing demand for better and specialized management practices for engineers in a global and multi-disciplinary construction industry. The program will focus on the construction management of public and private sector projects in transportation, public works and petrochemical industries. The 10-course program totals 30 credit hours.

The M.S.C.E. and the M.C.E. programs may be completed in three semesters of full-time study or in two to three years of part-time study.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program requires a minimum of 24 credit hours of approved graduate study beyond the master's degree, plus at least 30 credit hours of research and dissertation. Three exams must be completed successfully before graduation.
