The requirements for the M.S. degree in Engineering: Civil are listed below. Each student’s program will be developed by the student’s committee as an individualized program and will be constructed in accordance with sound academic practices to provide the kind of study most suitable to the student’s needs. The proposed program must be submitted on a Program of Study form to The Graduate School office for approval during the first semester of coursework. It is that program, rather than the example which follows, which will constitute the student’s graduation requirements. Candidacy for the degree is typically filed in the semester prior to the student’s anticipated graduation semester.

The general guidelines for the M.S. degree in engineering are as follows:

	Graduate Seminar	1
Area I	Mathematics or Component	3-6
Area II	Approved Electives in Mathematics, Science, or Engineering	6-9
Area III	Engineering Concentration	12-16
Area IV	Thesis or Special Project and/or Internship	6
