The Master of Science (MS) curriculum is designed to develop new understanding through research and creativity. Students have the option to pursue a thesis or non-thesis Master of Science degree.
The civil engineering master's program within the department has eight areas of specialty that a student can focus on. Each area covers a different aspect of civil engineering that can be found in today's society.
The Master of Science program is a 30-hour program and can be as either a thesis or a non-thesis degree. The thesis option requires the student to complete at least 24 hours of coursework and a minimum of 6 hours of research as part of their degree plan; while the non-thesis option completes 30 hours of coursework and no research to complete their requirement.
Master students can choose from nine areas of study: Coastal, Construction Engineering & Management., Environmental, Geotechnical, Infrastructure Management & Security, Materials, Structural,Transportation, and Water Resources.
For more information about Civil & Environmental Engineering courses please see the course descriptions.
The professors are the number one reason for getting a Master's here at Texas A&M University. They are the best you can get in my opinion (at least for structural classes).
