M.S. Non-Thesis

If a student prefers a non-thesis option, a minimum of 36 semester hours of acceptable graduate credit is required. Of this total at least 21 semester hours of graduate credit must be earned in CE courses, including no more than 3 credit hours of the appropriate CE 592 (Special Investigations in Civil Engineering) course to be devoted to the preparation of a Research Paper. In addition, the student is required to pass a comprehensive examination. The student's performance on the examination is evaluated by the student's graduate faculty committee and reported to the Graduate School. The complete procedures and requirements for the M.S. Degree are described in the Graduate Catalog and the Student Handbook of the department.
