Overview

About the programme

Guidelines for Master of Science in Civil Engineering at Louisiana State University curriculum are established by each discipline group. The faculty has a great amount of formal training, practical experience, and ongoing research in the following areas: environmental engineering, water resources/coastal and ecological engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, mechanics of materials, and transportation engineering. Well-equipped laboratories in these and related areas are available for research. Graduate students normally specialize in one of these fields (also referred to as "areas of concentration/research/study").

Subject to approval of the advisory committee and department, students transferring from graduate programs of other institutions can transfer a maximum of 50% credit hours of course work done. Per the graduate school catalog, transfer work may not be used to fulfill the master’s program requirement that at least one-half of the minimum required credit be in courses at or above the 7000 level.

Full time graduate students must register for the one credit hour graduate seminar class (CE 7750) every fall and spring semester. Part-time graduate students are required to register for this seminar only in their graduating semester (note: CE 7750 is not offered in the summer, so if a part-time student is graduating in the summer they should complete CE 7750 in the spring). Regardless, only one hour of CE 7750 may be applied to satisfy the course requirements.
