Overview

Students who want to obtain a “state of the practice” technical foundation in one of the civil engineering subdisciplines should seriously consider taking a Master’s degree either through the ABM program (see above) or as a stand-alone qualification.

Key Facts

The Civil Engineering program at the University of South Alabama provides knowledge of modern engineering concepts and practices, and build upon the knowledge and skills expected of a holder of a typical Bachelor’s degree to the point where a Master’s graduate can make high-level contributions to contemporary engineering designs. A Master’s degree is also an ideal preparation for further study towards the doctoral degree if desired.

Two study plans are available. The thesis option requires six credit hours for writing a medium-length technical report.

This thesis is generally a contribution to original engineering research on a topic of great relevance to current state-of-art in Civil, Coastal or Environmental Engineering.

The Course option includes no project work but there is a correspondingly larger coursework requirement. Both options require a total of 30 credit hours.
