MSc in Environmental Engineering (Thesis) in Houston United States | University of Houston

Earning a Master of Science degree with a thesis involves conducting original research under the guidance of a core faculty member from the Environmental Engineering program, who will serve as the Thesis Committee Chair. Typically, the Chair secures funding for both the student and their research project. Completing a thesis-based Master's usually demands at least two years of full-time commitment for coursework, research planning and execution, as well as thesis writing and defense. For the non-thesis Master of Science option, students must complete 30 credit hours of coursework. These non-thesis students fund their own education and often study part-time. By enrolling in two courses during regular semesters and one during each summer term, students can finish the non-thesis program in two years. The non-thesis curriculum mandates taking the CIVE 6111 seminar course twice, though these seminar credits don't contribute to the 30-hour requirement.
