Civil Engineering - Water Resources Engineering Concentration (MAS)

Degree Requirements

The Master of Applied Sciences (MAS) degree is awarded to students who, upon admission, have a non-engineering undergraduate degree. Students pursuing the MAS degree complete a thesis and declare a concentration.

Formally, the student must perform 24 credit hours of course work and 6 credit hours of thesis. The MAS degree is also suited to those who, upon graduation, wish to pursue their PhD. Students are also required to enroll in the CIEG 865 - Civil Engineering Seminar  each semester.
