Construction Engineering Management (MS)

The MS in Construction Engineering Management is awarded to students who have mastered professional training in a program that combines Construction Management and Engineering. Training is gained through directed research or design and graduate course work which consists of elective courses. Students pursuing the thesis option gain the added dimension of participating in research work at the cutting edge of the profession. This research work culminates in the presentation of the thesis. Alternatively, the student may elect to complete a less intensive research--a design study called a project. The degree requires a minimum of 31 hours of course work plus the thesis or project for completion.

Civil Engineering (PhD)

The PhD is awarded to candidates who have made a significant contribution to knowledge in a particular specialization of civil engineering. Such a contribution is achieved through research which involves a thorough review of applicable literature, completion of carefully planned work, and a high-quality presentation of the dissertation. Adequate coursework is necessary to provide a foundation of expertise for quality research. The degree requires a minimum of 18 hours of coursework beyond the Masters plus the dissertation for completion.
