Professional Master of Civil Engineering

In support of the mission and vision statements for the graduate program, the Civil Engineering Department adopts the following goals for the Professional Master of Engineering in Water Resources Engineering:
  • Prepare students to fulfill the academic prerequisites specified by the Americans Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for Licensure and Professional Practice in Civil Engineering.
  • Prepare students to attain the Body of Knowledge specified by ASCE necessary for entry into the practice of civil engineering at the professional level.
  • Prepare students for advanced graduate studies towards a terminal degree.

Students may choose from the engineering options, requirements of which are specified below. Exceptions to these requirements must be approved by the head of the department. Further information related to the Civil Engineering Professional Master of Engineering degree may be found under the Academic Programs of Study section of the catalog.
