The master's degree program offers a versatile curriculum that equips students for leadership roles in civil engineering firms, consulting agencies, and government organizations, while also providing a foundation for further academic pursuits. Participants can select from several completion paths: a non-thesis track (30 credit hours plus an exam), a thesis route (24 course credits and 6 thesis credits), a project-based alternative (28 course credits and 2 project credits), or an online option via K-State's Global Campus. The department provides thorough Master of Science and PhD programs in civil engineering, with vigorous research initiatives spanning environmental, geotechnical, structural, transportation/materials, and water resources engineering. These programs emphasize the connection between graduate education, research, instruction, and professional application.
