The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department offers three graduate degrees: Ph.D., Master of Science (M.S.) with thesis, and Master of Civil Engineering (M.C.E.) (non-thesis). There are possible prerequisites for students holding college degrees in fields other than civil and environmental engineering.
Please refer to the Auburn University Bulletin for more details regarding civil and environmental engineering graduate degrees.
All MS/MCE work must be completed within six calendar years. The student’s degree time begins with the earliest completed course in the Plan of Study.
Ph.D. students are expected to achieve candidacy (passing proposal defense and qualifying exams) within six years and to complete all requirements for the degree within ten years.
- Students in the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Earth System Science (ESS) can be advised by civil engineering faculty. The ESS Ph.D. program has different degree requirements from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Ph.D. program.
