major: Civil Engineering
Degree: Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE) Concentration: Thesis Option 2024-2025
Major Requirements
The Civil Engineering Master's Degree (MSCE) - Thesis Option consists of a minimum of thirty credit hours.
School of Engineering Conditions for the Degree:- All coursework must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
- A GPA of 3.0 must be maintained. If the GPA falls below 3.0, academic probation will result.
- No more than 6.0 hours of transfer coursework can be applied to the degree. However, a student may transfer up to 12.0 hours from online graduate classes taken within the Florida State University System, provided the total of all transfer courses does not exceed 12 credit hours.
- A student may not receive 5000- or 6000-level credit for a cross-listed 4000/5000-level or 4000/6000-level course previously completed at the 4000-level. Exceptions to this rule may be considered with documented evidence of significant and appropriate differences in content between the courses.
- If a student chooses to change from either the Civil Engineering Thesis Concentration or Coastal and Port Degree to this non-thesis concentration, any credits of CGN6970 (Civil Engineering Thesis) will not apply towards the degree.
- If a student chooses to change from either the Civil Engineering Thesis Concentration or Coastal and Port Degree to this non-thesis concentration, any credits of CGN 6900 (Supervised Graduate Research) will not apply towards the degree.
