Students entering the program are expected to have completed Soil Mechanics (CE 426) and Structures I (CE 335), Reinforced Concrete Design (CE 438) and Structural Steel Design (CE 439). Admitted students who have not completed such courses as part of an undergraduate program must satisfactorily complete them prior to continuing in the program. These courses cannot be applied toward the formal degree program of study.
This program is intended primarily for students holding a B.S. in Civil Engineering or in a closely related field. Prospective students whose undergraduate degree is not in a closely related field should contact the Department in order to discuss additional prerequisite courses with a faculty advisor.
The total number of 400-level units in the formal program of study for students pursuing the Thesis, Project or Comprehensive Examination Plans may not exceed 9 units.
