Civil
Engineering
MSCE Program
Our practice-oriented Master of Science in Civil
Engineering (MSCE) program build upon an
undergraduate education and facilitates more
advanced study in one of the branches of civil
engineering. The program consists of 30 sernester
units of COursework (equivalent to 45 quarter units)

17:15 O 29 E AO
Mission Statement
The MsCE program is intended to serve both full
time and part-time graduate students who have a
BSCE or closely related undergraduate degree that
Currently are, or intend to become, practicing civil
engineers. Therefore, our program aims to
strengthen knowledge of civil engineering prinociples
and practices and to apply the knowledge and skills
to real-world problems encountered by professional
Civil engineers.
Another purpose of the program is to facilitate
applied research on relevant Civil engineering
topics. Such research should 1) serve societal
needs by addresSing contemporary issues, 2)
Contribute to the professional development of both
students and faculty and 3) provide preparation for
further academic study and research for those
students who wish to pursue a Ph.D.
Vision
We excel at delivering an inclusive, practice-
oriented, world-class Civil Engineering education
that changes peoples lives.

Student Learning
Outcomes
The Civil Engineering Department adopted and
adapted from ABET the following student learning
outcomes. Upon completing their degree graduates
of any of the MSCE program options should be
able to develop:
1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve
complex engineering problems by applying

advanced principles of engineering, science,
and mathematics.
2. an ability to develop and conduct
appropriate experimentation, analyze, and
interpret data, and use engineering
judgment to draw conclusions.
3. an ability to acquire and apply new
knowledge as needed, using appropriate
learning strategies.

4. an ability to apply engineering design to
produce solutions that meet specified
needs with consideration of public health,
safety, and welfare, as well as global,
cultural, social, environmental, and
economic factors.
5. an ability to communicate effectively with a
range of audiences.
6. an ability to recognize ethical and
professional responsibilities in engineering
situations and make informed judgments,
which must consider the impact of
engineering solutions in global, economic,
environmental, and societal contexts.
All the courses offered in the MSCE program
options are divided into two groups. Group A
includes a list of courses from all options mapped
to learning outcomes 1 through 3 that are related
to theory analysis. Group B consists of a list of

COurses from all five options mapped to learning
outcomes 4 through 6 related to design and
engineering applications.
The MSCE program complies with the CSU
Executive order 10/1 by requiring all graduate

Successful applicants will be admitted to the
programs either unconditionally or with conditions
imposed on them. To receive unconditional
admission, an applicant must satisty all three of t
below criteria
The applicant must hold a baccalaureate
degree from a civil engineering program
accredited by ABET.
.The applicant must have achieved a grade
point average of at least 3.00 (out of 4.00)
in all undergraduate upper division
coursework in mathematics, science and

engineering and, additionally, in all
coursework attempted with graduate
standing.
Additional requirements may be imposed by
individual options of the MSCE program.
Conditional admission may be granted in cases in
which the applicant's academic preparation for
graduate study is such that criteria 1) and/or 2)

above are not satisfied. In such cases, the applicant
is required to submit recent test sCores of the
Graduate Record Examinatiorns (GRE), Ietters of
recommendation, and other documents attesting
to the applicant's aptitude for graduate studies.
When an applicant is admitted conditionally, the
Conditions to be met and the time allowed for
meeting them are stated in the letter of admission.
If these Conditions are not satisfied, the student
may be disenrolled
All appliocants with a bachelor's degree from outside
of the U.S. (regardless of citizenship) must also
provide proof of English language proficiency
