Department
of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Master of Science
Degree Requirements
| Students
in all Master’s degree programs must complete a
minimum of thirty-two semester hours of approved coursework
(exclusive of any preparatory courses) with a minimum
QPA of 3.000. Students who receive financial support from
the University in the form of a research, teaching, or
tuition assistantship must complete either a four semester
hour Master’s Report or an eight semester hour Thesis.
Construction
Management
The
Construction Management program includes required core
courses primarily from the CEE Department, complemented
by electives in Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and Business
Administration. Based on proven proficiency in given
areas, students may waive certain core courses and replace
them with alternate elective courses.
