The M.S. program in Civil Engineering comprises of a minimum of 21 credits of course work
and a thesis. The course work is mainly composed of elective courses that allow specialization
in various fields including Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Concrete
Technology and Construction Management. Our graduate program aims to improve an
engineer’s ability to solve complex engineering problems. Graduates of this program can
follow and adapt to recent developments in the civil engineering industry.
