MS Civil Engineering
About The Program
The MS program in Civil Engineering emphasizes the practical applications of four major fields of specialization i.e. Water Resources Engineering & Management, Structural Engineering, Construction Engineering & Management and Environmental Engineering. The program offers engineers the opportunity to advance their skills in these specialized areas. The successful MS graduates may develop their careers in Research and Development, Industry, Academia, Consultancy Organizations etc.
Admission Requirements
- A minimum of 16 years of education leading to B.Sc./ BS/ BE in Civil Engineering or equivalent.
