MA/MS in Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering admits selected candidates to Master of Science programs in civil engineering and in environmental engineering. Applicants must already hold an undergraduate science or engineering degree. Every student completes a thesis, which can be done in any current departmental research area or another area approved by the adviser. In civil engineering the thesis may be an experimental or theoretical project, or the solution of a practical engineering problem with novel features. The thesis is followed by a closing examination, oral or written, that has to be completed ahead of conferral. Undergraduates can also reach the master's degree through the five-year combined bachelor's and master's program. The department page lists requirements for the major and gives contact details for the faculty office. Prospective students can follow the link there to the university admissions pages, which explain how applications are submitted.
