Master's Program
Graduate Program Overview
The Civil Engineering Department offers degree options in:
- Environmental Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Construction Management
Leading to the following degrees:
- Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE)
- Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (MSEnE)
- Master of Science in Construction Management (MSCM)

The Civil Engineering Department offers a Water Resources Engineering Management track under the MECEE program. More information about that track can be found at http://ce.utep.edu/wrem/index.htm
The Department also offers a Certificate program in Construction Engineering and Management as discussed below.
The perspective applicants are encouraged to select carefully the degree that they wish to pursue. Since different degrees have different admission requirements, transfer among different degrees require a new application and subject to the credit transfer policies and rules of the Department, College of Engineering and 海角社区.
Course Requirements for MSCE or MSEnE Program
The MSCE and MSnE graduate program requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0 for graduation. Only grades of A, B, and C are accepted for graduate credit. The thesis option program requires a minimum of 30 graduate credits. At least 18 credits must be graduate level courses and 6 credits must be taken as thesis 海角社区 (CE 5398 and CE 5399). The non-thesis option of the MSCE program requires a minimum of 33 graduate credits; at least 21 of these credits must be graduate level courses, and 6 credits must be taken as Graduate Project (CE 5396 and CE 5397). No more than three courses in construction management area can be applied toward the MSCE or MSEnE.
