Graduate programs are offered in coastal and water resources engineering, computer-aided engineering, construction engineering and management, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, public works engineering, structural engineering and mechanics, transportation engineering and materials.

Admission Requirements: Normal minimum requirements include a 3.0 GPA in a related engineering major. Provisional admission may be granted to applicants who do not satisfy normal admission criteria but have other special qualifications. Applicants without academic experience in civil engineering, construction engineering, or environmental engineering may be required to take undergraduate courses to remove deficiencies, without graduate credit. The Graduate Record Examination normally is required of all applicants.

Master's Degree Requirements: Two Master's degrees, each requiring a minimum of 30 credit hours, are available. At least two-thirds of a Master's program should be in a well-defined major area of concentration. The M.CE. is a non-thesis (Option B) degree with other requirements, such as independent projects or core courses, specified in some areas of specialization. A formal minor is not permitted. The M.CE. is available both on-campus and through distance education. The M.S. degree requires a thesis and a formal minor is optional.

Doctoral Degree Requirements: The Ph.D. typically requires one year of full-time course work beyond the master's degree and research culminating in a dissertation. The program must develop a well-defined major area of concentration and may include supporting courses outside the major or a formal minor in a related field.

Student Financial Support: Departmental teaching and research assistantships are available including coverage of tuition and health insurance. Fellowships supplementing the assistantships, which may include coverage of academic fees, are available for exceptional applicants. All financial aid recipients are selected on merit-based competition with other applicants. Applications requesting financial aid should be submitted early: February 1 for Fall admission and by July 15 (international) or October 1 (U.S.) for Spring admission, although these are not deadlines.
