16 monthsThe Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics offers a graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Science (M.S.) in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. The Master of Science degree is awarded upon the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 30 points of credit of approved graduate study extending over at least two semesters.
The M.S. program is very flexible and includes minimal core course requirements. Every student is assigned a faculty member as an academic adviser. Student and adviser meet regularly and plan together the sequence of courses that best fit the student's interests. While a suitable M.S. program will necessarily entail some degree of specialization, the program of study established between the student and the adviser should be well balanced, including basic subjects of broad importance as well as theory and applications. Students may take graduate-level courses from across various concentrations within the department and may complete multiple concentrations.
