The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics provides a graduate program culminating in a Master of Science (MS) degree in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. To earn the MS degree, students must successfully complete at least thirty (30) credit hours of approved graduate coursework spanning a minimum of two semesters. While an MS thesis isn't mandatory, students may pursue up to six (6) credit hours of independent research, which can serve as a thesis equivalent. The Forensic (Structural) Engineering specialization introduces graduate students and early-career professionals to forensic engineering principles, equipping them with fundamental skills for failure analysis, legal considerations, and preparation for careers in forensic structural engineering practice.

Qualification Requirements
The basic requirement for admission as a graduate student is the bachelor's degree received from an institution of acceptable standing. Ordinarily, the applicant will have majored in the field in which graduate study is intended, but in certain programs preparation in a related field of engineering or science is acceptable. The applicant will be admitted only if the undergraduate record shows promise of productive and effective graduate work.
The Master of Science (MS) degree is required for admission into the PhD and EngScD degree programs. A student who holds an appropriate bachelor's degree in engineering may apply for admission to either the MS only or MS leading to PhD program.
The following materials must accompany the online application for on-campus graduate programs-
