Program Description

The Civil and Environmental Engineering graduate program at New Mexico Tech provides a unique educational and research experience in the engineering and science of the natural and the built environment and environmental protection. The plan of study and research is suited to each individual, drawing upon the strengths of the student, taking advantage of program capabilities, and complementing research activities within and outside New Mexico. A thesis or independent study project is required to complete the degree. General requirements common to all Master of Science degree curricula also apply.

Program Information & Policies

Admission to the Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering program requires competence in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering science comparable to the Bachelor of Science in Civil or Environmental Engineering. The department chair, or an advisory committee, will evaluate the scholastic record of every entering student to determine whether any deficiencies exist in their educational background. For example, students entering the program without an engineering degree may be required to take additional course work in such areas as fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and differential equations before being granted a M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering. It is up to the student and his or her graduate committee to determine the specific plan of study for the student after the first semester of graduate work. Transfer credit for courses taken at another institution will be evaluated on an individual basis.
