Graduate
Degree Programs in Civil Engineering
Graduate
study is offered with specialization in the following areas:
- hydraulics
and water resources engineering
- environmental
and sanitary engineering
- structural
engineering and structural mechanics
- geotechnical
engineering
- transportation
engineering
The
department offers three graduate degree programs. Certificate programs
are also available in structural engineering and water resources engineering
through Engineering Outreach:
Master
of Science
Programs
are offered in specialized areas. Applicants for admission generally will
have a B.S. degree in civil engineering. However, those with B.S. degrees
in areas other than civil engineering are also eligible for admission.
In these cases, after consultation with the student, deficiency courses
will be specified by the student's advisory committee.
Master
of Engineering
A
minimum of 33 credits is required. The other M.S. requirements apply.
The study program includes a directed study course involving the preparation
of a technical paper.
Doctor
of Philosophy
Persons
interested in pursuing a doctoral degree must contact the Chair of the
Civil Engineering Department well in advance of admission to the Graduate
College. Preliminary screening of candidates and program planning for
those admitted are essential features of the Ph.D. program. Programs are
offered with specialization in the following general areas:
- water
resources and hydraulics
- structures,
structural mechanics and construction materials
- geotechnical
engineering
- transportation
engineering
- environmental
engineering
The
qualifying examination is written and/or oral, and the preliminary examination
is written and oral. In addition, one of the following requirements must
be satisfied:
- Satisfactory
completion of a foreign language examination conducted by the Department
of Foreign Languages and Literatures.
- Completion
of a humanistic-social study program approved by the Department of Civil
Engineering.
Candidates
for graduate study must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate
Studies and of the Department of Civil Engineering. See the UI Catalog College
of Graduate Studies section (Part 4) for the General
Requirements applicable to each degree.
Course
work requirements in each of the degree programs are relatively flexible
depending on student interest and course availability. Financial assistance
is available on a competitive basis in the form of instructional and graduate
research assistantships. Students interested in graduate studies should
select a specialty area in which they wish to study. Entrance requirements
for the College of Graduate Studies apply. Foreign students must have a
TOEFL score of at least 550 for admission to any departmental graduate degree
program.
