Degrees Offered: Master of Science in Civil Engineering; Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering In the information technology age, more resources are available for building new cities, repairing the infrastructure, cleaning up the environment: these are all tasks for the civil engineer. Major corporations, government agencies, private consulting and construction firms, and universities are just some of the organizations that employ civil engineers.In-depth knowledge in one of the areas of civil engineering is essential for professional practice as well as for research. Courses are taught by full-time faculty members with a range of academic and professional experience as well as by adjunct instructors who are experts in their fields. Those students interested in research at the master's level or continuing their education at the doctoral level should consider working with faculty involved in one of the university's related research centers.

The M.S. in Civil Engineering is designed for those who want both specialized course work and the flexibility to tailor their program to their needs. Admission Requirements: Applicants are expected to have an undergraduate degree in civil engineering or its equivalent, and must have proficiency in basic sciences and mathematics. Students who lack an appropriate undergraduate background may be granted conditional admission in order to complete a bridge program or its equivalent. These courses are taken in addition to regular degree requirements; descriptions may be found in the undergraduate catalog. Graduate Certificate Program: A 12-credit graduate certificate in Construction Management is available as a step toward this degree. Please see Graduate Certificates in this catalog for further information. For more information about continuing and distance education, please contact the Division of Continuing Professional Education, 1-800-624-9850 or 973-596-3060; email: cpe@njit.edu. Bridge Program: Students who do not have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, but who want to obtain a master's degree in civil engineering must complete a bridge program for their chosen area of specialization. These courses are not counted for degree credit. See the areas of specialization in this section for specific bridge programs. Please note that prerequisites for bridge courses also must be met. See the undergraduate catalog for descriptions of 100- to 400-level courses. Some of the bridge courses may be waived depending on the student's background. Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) and M.S. in Civil Engineering Dual Degree Program: This program permits students to obtain a Master of Architecture with a Master of Science in Civil Engineering. There is no reduction in the degree requirements for the Master of Architecture program. This dual degree program permits students to obtain the M.S. in Civil Engineering in substantially less time; in some cases, in only one more semester of full-time study. This dual degree program is described in the "Architecture" degree program section in this catalog. Degree Requirements: The program as shown below offers numerous areas of specialization, each with its own list of required and elective courses and bridge program. Once the choice of specialization is made, the student consults his/her specialization advisor to plan and develop an individualized and cohesive sequence of courses that will meet the program requirements of at least 30 degree credits. Seminar: In addition to the minimum 30 degree credits required, all students who receive departmental or research-based awards must enroll each semester in CE 791 Graduate Seminar.

PhD in Civil Engineering
|

This is a program for superior students with master's degrees in civil engineering or allied fields who wish to do advanced research in an area of civil engineering. In exceptional circumstances, highly qualified students with bachelor's degrees in civil engineering may be accepted directly into the doctoral program. Admission Requirements: A minimum master's GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent, is normally required for admission. The GRE (general section) is required of all applicants. All international students must also achieve a minimum TOEFL score of 550. Degree Requirements: The department approves specific degree requirements and dissertation topics on an individual basis. Students must attain a minimum overall GPA of 3.0. Students must conduct independent original research in a specific area of civil engineering. Students must select an advisor willing to supervise dissertation work. 36 credits minimum of CE 790 Doctoral Dissertation is generally required. These 36 credits should be completed before submission of the final dissertation document. Students must register for a minimum of 3 credits of CE 790? until the dissertation has been submitted and accepted. 24 credits minimum of course work beyond the master's degree are required, of which at least 12 credits must be at the 700 level; the remaining credits may be at the 600 level. Seminar: CE 791 Graduate Seminar is required of all doctoral students every semester. Preliminary Qualifying Examination: Full-time students must take the preliminary qualifying exam for the first time within one year of beginning active study and must pass it completely by the next time the examination is offered. Part-time students must take the preliminary qualifying exam for the first time within three years of the beginning of active study and must pass it completely by the next time the examination is offered. Exceptional students having only bachelor's degrees who are admitted directly into the doctoral program must take the preliminary qualifying examination within one and one-half years of admission and must pass it within two years. All students are permitted to take the examination only twice. Dissertation Committee: After passing the preliminary qualifying examination, each student in consultation with the major faculty member develops a list of five faculty members who have agreed to serve on an advisory committee as follows: two or three members of the graduate faculty in the student's major area of interest; a member of the graduate faculty in the student's major area appointed by the department chairperson; a member of the graduate faculty of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering from another field of interest; a member of the graduate faculty from the area of the student's minor field of interest. Research Proposal : Doctoral students must prepare a written research proposal and make an oral presentation for approval by their dissertation committee.
