School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
The department offers two Master of Science (MS) degrees: one in Civil Engineering and one in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering, and is part of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences' Engineering Focus MS: Focus on Engineering Sustainability
Both 30-credit MS programs consist of three components (described in detail below): required courses, elective courses, and a culminating thesis, project, or exam. To complete the degree, most students choose the “all-course” option, which consists of six credits of concentration-specific required classes, 24 additional credits of approved elective classes, and a comprehensive exam taken at the end of their final semester.
