The MSc in Civil Engineering degree provides a student with the opportunity to earn an advanced degree with either coursework only or research thesis options.  Students must have an accredited first degree in engineering or complete a list of prerequisite engineering coursework. The MSc in Civil Engineering with the thesis is a research-oriented degree in which the student writes, as a major part of the degree requirements, a thesis that defines, examines, and reports in-depth on a subject area relevant to Civil Engineering.
