Civil Engineering - Professional Master of Science (MSCVE) - Dual-Track Option

Program Description

The Dual-Track Professional Master of Science degree in civil engineering aims to provide students and practicing professionals graduate-level engineering specialization and technical competence in more than a single area. The intended cross-disciplinary training and perspective is often needed to serve or lead in the diverse field of civil engineering where engineers typically have to work in and interact with others from more than one discipline in large and small projects, private and government sectors, in design and development as well as consulting services. The broader technical preparation will expand their career opportunities, professional outlook and provide multiple pathways to leadership and management positions. The high demand nationally for more broadly trained graduates in civil engineering to satisfy our sustainable and resilient infrastructure needs and in turn the national’s overall economical development points to the benefit of a cross-disciplinary General Civil Engineering coursework-only professional master’s degree. With the wide spectrum of classes for the students to choose from the Department and the College, students will have a wide selection of graduate courses to complete the Professional Master of Science degree in one year.
