M.S. in Civil Engineering M.S. in Civil Engineering Degree Requirements Students who do not have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, but who want to obtain a master's degree in civil engineering must complete a bridge program for their chosen area of specialization. These courses are not counted for degree credit. See the areas of specialization in this section for specific bridge programs. Please note that prerequisites for bridge courses also must be met. See the undergraduate catalog for descriptions of 00- to 400-level courses. Some of the bridge courses may be waived depending on the student's background. The program as shown below offers numerous areas of specialization, each with its own list of required and elective courses and bridge program. Once the choice of specialization is made, the student consults his/her specialization advisor to plan and develop an individualized and cohesive sequence of courses that will meet the program requirements of at least 30 degree credits. Other suitable electives may be taken subject to approval of program advisor.
