Master of Science in Engineering - Civil and Environmental Engineering (Non-Thesis Track)

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering & Construction (CEEC) at UNLV offers a number of areas of engineering options leading to the Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) - Civil & Environmental Engineering. Specific areas of engineering that are currently available include Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, and Water Resources/ Environmental. MSE students should follow the graduate rules and milestones of the program mentioned in CEEC Graduate Student Handbook.

Learning Outcomes
Thesis Track
Demonstrate knowledge in the chosen area of their expertise (construction, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources/environmental).
Acquire and apply appropriate research methodology to solve contemporary engineering problems related to the area of their expertise.
Demonstrate an ability to generate, collect, compile, and interpret research data.
Demonstrate technical communication skills.

Applicant must have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a closely-related discipline with an overall GPA of 2.75 (4.00=A) or a GPA of 3.0 (4.00=A) for the last 60 credits(semester basis) of undergraduate program.

Applicants desiring to specialize in environmental engineering who have baccalaureate degrees in the natural sciences may require at least an additional semester of full time study to complete engineering prerequisite undergraduate course work, this may include fluid mechanics, calculus through differential equations, engineering physics, chemistry and engineering economics. Successful environmental engineering applicants are expected to complete a set of graduate courses in engineering hydrology, hydraulics, statistics, water and wastewater treatment, and wastewater treatment plant design during their graduate study.

Transcripts - One transcript from every post-secondary institution the applicant has attended (regardless of whether a degree or credential was earned), showing all coursework, extension and correspondence work, any degrees earned, and the dates that those degrees were awarded. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted as part of the application process. However, if an applicant is admitted, official transcripts will be required by the date specified on the Certificate of Admission. Transfer credits posted on another institution's transcript will not be accepted in lieu of the transcript itself. Only transcripts sent directly from the institution are considered official. Failure to disclose all coursework and/or degrees awarded will result in rescission of admission. IELTS - 6.5, TOEFL - 80, (Paper-based) Minimum score - 74 (Computer-based) Minimum score - 213, Pearson Test of English (PTE) - Minimum score - 65
