Special Degree Programs and Options
Computational Science and Engineering (CSE): Concentration & Certificate Program
The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering offers a concentration or certificate option in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) within the M.S. and Ph.D. programs. The program is designed to provide graduate students at both the Masters and Ph.D. levels with a solid base in problem-solving using computation as a major tool for modeling complicated problems in science and engineering. The program requirements listed are in addition to the normal requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. degree.
Master of Architecture (MArch) + M.S. Civil Engineering (MSCE)
The MArch + MSCE joint degree program is administered through the School of Architecture. Offered in either structures or construction management, it is intended for graduate students in architecture and requires a baccalaureate in architectural studies. The CEE requirements for the MS degree are 32 hours of course work including three 500 level courses in CEE. The student must be enrolled in the CEE Department for at least two semesters to obtain the joint degree. The thesis option is not available for this joint degree program.
