Program Description

The MSCE (Master of Science in Civil Engineering) provides students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and gain hands-on experience in the modern civil engineering field.  This program will offer a set of civil, structural and earthquake engineering core courses that broadens the students’ perspective in the field. In addition, selective courses offer an opportunity for the students to follow their interests and align their course work with their career objectives.  A culminating experience of an applied research project or thesis offers an opportunity for the students to practice their knowledge and gain hands-on research experience. The non-sequential structure of most graduate courses permits students to take courses in their areas of interests without committing themselves to a long series of courses. The 30-unit degree offers a series of focused courses in civil engineering, in which students learn how to develop concrete professional skills to be successful in projects. Our program prepares the students to write technical research papers, collaborate with peers for group projects, to enter Ph.D. programs at other universities and complete lab or practicum requirements as needed. The courses are scheduled in the evenings, keeping in mind the convenience of the working engineers.
