Geotechnical / Geoenvironmental Engineering - Graduate Degree Programs
Both the master's and doctorate (Ph.D.) degrees are available with a specialty in Geotechnical / Geoenvironmental Engineering.
Master's
The Master of Science (MS) degree requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate study, including a thesis of no more than 6 credit hours.
The Master of Civil Engineering (MCE) degree requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate study and may include three hours of independent study with a written report.
Doctoral
Course work for the Ph.D. normally includes about one year of full time study beyond either MS or MCE degrees. A dissertation reporting the results of an original investigation with contributions to the state of the knowledge is required. Other requirements include one academic year of residence and the passing of a written or an oral qualifying examination. While a formal minor cannot be designated, supporting courses outside the major are encouraged.
