Coastal engineering involves examining natural processes and human influences affecting shorelines, inlets, estuaries, and coastal regions. This academic program equips students with diverse engineering expertise to address changing demands in coastal water and wetland design, planning, and management. Graduate students may specialize in key disciplines such as coastal engineering, environmental fluid dynamics, marine and estuarine hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and landform evolution. Researchers, including both students and faculty, investigate coastal hazard forecasting (such as flood risks from storms and contaminant movement), water circulation patterns in estuaries and sounds, and the gradual transformation of coastal landscapes over various timescales.

Qualification Requirements
A bachelor's degree in engineering. Most of our graduate students have a background in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related engineering discipline (e.g., Chemical and Mechanical). Many successful students in our programs have backgrounds in a variety of engineering disciplines.
Applicants without a degree in a related field will need to take required background courses to bridge the non-engineering gap.
GPA 3.0 or above - An overall GPA of at least 3.0/4.0.
IELTS scores with an overall band score of at least 6.5. Minimum test scores for each section are listed below: Listening 6.5, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 6.5
TOEFL with a total score of at least 80 on the Internet-based Test (iBT), and with minimum test scores for each section of: Listening 18 points, Reading 18 points, Writing 18 points.
Computer-based TOEFL scores must be 213 or higher (with at least 17 on three sections and no section score below 13). The paper-based test requires a score of 550 or higher (with scores of 50 on at least two of the three sections and no section score below 45).
