Major: Civil Engineering
Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCIV) and Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE)
Calendar Type: Quarter
Minimum Required Credits: 225.5
Co-op Options: Three Co-ops (Five years)
Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code: 14.0801
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code: 17-2051
About the Program
The Civil Engineering BSCIV / Civil Engineering MSCE program allows students to develop technical depth and breadth in their professional and related area, which enhances their professional productivity, whether in industry or as they proceed to the PhD. The undergraduate courses provide the necessary technical prerequisite understanding and skills for the graduate studies, a natural progression. Because the technical concepts of engineering are common, the MS in a related discipline is readily achieved.
Additional Information
For more information, visit the BS/MS program and Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering webpages.
Admission Requirements
Students must have a GPA of at least 3.2 and have taken coursework sufficient to demonstrate a readiness to take graduate coursework.

For students writing an master’s thesis, nine credits should consist of a minimum of 8 research credits (CIVE 997) and a minimum of 1 thesis credit (CIVE 898). Full time master’s students are encouraged to do a thesis. Students opting not to do a thesis could do a research project which would consist of a minimum of 5 research credits (CIVE 997) and a minimum of 1 thesis credit (CIVE 898) or would require the completion of an additional 9.0 graduate technical elective credits from the list above, therefore, the total graduate technical elective credits required will be 15.0.

Writing-Intensive Course Requirements
In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.
A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List at the University Writing Program. Students scheduling their courses can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term.
