The M.S.C.E. program equips students to enhance their technical expertise in Civil and Environmental Engineering. It fosters intellectual growth by encouraging the pursuit and application of knowledge, shaping students into engaged, articulate, and socially conscious professionals. Program graduates play vital roles in advancing civil and environmental engineering fields. The curriculum promotes cross-disciplinary research, partnering with other engineering disciplines as well as science and applied mathematics departments. Current partnerships with Mechanical Engineering involve studies on aquifer dynamics and oil spill dispersion in turbulent waters, while collaborations with Chemistry focus on combustion byproducts and surface reactions. Specializations include:

Civil Engineering Systems – covering construction, structural, and transportation engineering.
Environmental Engineering – addressing water resources, natural system pollution, and remediation technologies.

Temple University's Master of Science in Civil Engineering prepares you to design and sustain critical infrastructure—from bridges to water systems—while honing geotechnical and structural analysis capabilities. Beyond technical mastery, the program cultivates your ability to address societal infrastructure challenges with thoughtful, innovative solutions as a well-rounded engineering professional.

Qualification Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: A bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering is the preferred prerequisite degree. However, students who have earned a bachelor's degree in a related field are encouraged to apply, with the understanding that remedial preparatory courses may be a pre-condition of admission to the M.S.C.E. program.

University regulations stipulate that the applicant must have earned a 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale in her/his undergraduate studies
Statement of Goals: Describe your relevant technical experiences and career goals in one to two pages.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:

TOEFL iBT: 79
IELTS Academic: 6.5
550 on the paper-based (PBT)
Resume: Current resume required.
The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of B or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.
