Master of Science in Civil Engineering
| Program Overview | This program provides the opportunity for advanced study, field work, and research in the civil engineering field to enhance professional opportunities in industry or provide the basis for further academic endeavors. The mission of the MSCE program is to prepare students to function in a demanding technical environment where their advanced civil engineering education will allow them to solve uncommon problems in their field of expertise. Through our commitment to civil engineering research and requiring students to participate in such activities we will provide opportunities for expanded content knowledge and development of critical thinking skills outside of a classroom setting. Students graduating with an MS in Civil Engineering will receive the education that allows them to pursue a doctoral degree. |
