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