Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering

The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Civil Engineering provides students with education in advanced civil engineering topics, management, and professional issues. The M.Eng. degree option is ideal for students who will pursue a master's degree part-time or for full-time students who desire an option for accelerated completion within one year.

The specialty (depth) area courses provide students an advanced education beyond the bachelor's degree in a specific civil engineering sub-discipline. The majority of the specialty area courses should be taken from the CEE department. A minimum of 15 credit hours of specialty (depth) is required in the M.Eng. curriculum.

The supplementary electives are intended to develop the student's complementary multidisciplinary and professional skills required in the civil engineering profession. Supplementary electives may include courses from other civil and environmental engineering areas outside of the chosen specialty, as well as courses from other disciplines that support the professional development focus of the M.Eng. Example supplementary electives outside of engineering include courses in the sciences, mathematics, statistics, computer/computational science, social sciences, public policy, urban and regional planning, business, and law. A minimum of 12 credit hours of supplementary electives is required in the M.Eng. curriculum.
Mathematics and quantitative skills are critical in civil engineering work. Therefore a student is required to take at least one course (a minimum of three (3) credit hours) in mathematics, statistics, or computational science.

Have a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or a closely related engineering science or social science discipline from an accredited college or university. Additional undergraduate articulation coursework may be necessary, depending on a student's academic background and chosen concentration area.

Be in good academic standing at the academic institution last attended.

Have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale on all coursework attempted as an upper-division student (beyond 60 semester credit hours).
