Program Information
The civil engineering program is offered through the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering with the following degrees:
- Doctor of Philosophy
- Master of Engineering
- Master of Science
The master’s degree in civil engineering is also offered through the Electronic Delivery of Graduate Engineering (EDGE) program, which is a distance learning program delivered either via streaming video or DVD directly to the students. Subject to approval by the supervisory committee, graduate-level courses taken through the College of Engineering (EGN), Departments of Environmental Engineering Sciences, Geological Sciences, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering are considered as major credit.
For courses taken through the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering, credit hours graded S/U will not count toward graduation except for
- 6 hours of CGN 6971 Research for Master's Thesis (1-15 cr.) or EOC 6971 Research for Master's Thesis (1-15 cr.) for thesis students
- 3 hours of CGN 6974 Master of Engineering or Engineer Degree Report (1-6 cr.) for students working on the M.E. report
- CGN 7979 Advanced Research (1-12 cr.) or EOC 7979 Advanced Research (1-12 cr.)
- CGN 7980 Research for Doctoral Dissertation (1-15 cr.) or EOC 7980 Research for Doctoral Dissertation (1-15 cr.)
The department offers a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree program for current UF undergraduate students who intend to complete a graduate degree at UF. Please contact the undergraduate coordinator for information.
