Program Information

The coastal and oceanographic engineering program is offered through the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering with the following degrees: Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degree. Subject to approval by the supervisory committee, graduate-level courses taken through the College of Engineering (EGN), the 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.

Degrees Offered with a Major in Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering

  • Doctor of Philosophy
  • Master of Engineering
  • Master of Science

Requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog.
