The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers MS degrees and Doctoral degrees. Doctoral degrees are granted jointly with UCSD. Please read the following guidelines if you are (1) interested in obtaining a graduate degree from SDSU or (2) are enrolled in the CEE graduate program and need assistance.
COMPREHENSIVES Spring 08
The Spring 08 Comprehensive exams will take place Thursday April 10 2008 at 10 am in the Soils Lab (Room E401). In order to take the comprehensive exam, you must email the graduate adviser ( email = jvaldes@mail.sdsu.edu ) following these directions: In the subject line of the email write: "Spring 2008 Comps". In the email, include your red id and your specialization. You MUST send this email to the graduate adviser before March 5 in order to take the comprehensive exam. Guidelines for the exam will then be sent by email to the eligible students.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT GRADUATE STUDENTS
All CIVE and ENVE graduate students must attend a number of thesis defenses to be able to graduate. Click here for requirements.
MS DEGREES - Summary
The MS degree in Civil Engineering requires the completion of 30 credits.
There are two options: In Plan A students enroll in a minimum of 10 courses (3 units each). However, 3 of these courses (9 units) are used towards a MS thesis involving a research project, which is guided by a selected faculty member. The comprehensive examination (see below) is not required for Plan A students. The CEE department encourages students to take the Plan A option: we believe that the research experience is invaluable.
In Plan B,students enroll in a minimum of 10 courses (3 units each). Of these 10 courses, 6 must be graduate-level civil engineering and/or environmental engineering courses. The other four courses must be 500-level or higher, and may be from other departments (with the permission of the graduate advisor). During the final semester, each student must pass a thorough comprehensive examination in order to graduate.
Please note that students can make the decision between Plan A and Plan B before starting or while in the program.

APPLICATIONS PROCEDURE
Students interested in attending SDSU for graduate studies must visit the main page of the graduate division to learn how to apply. Deadlines and forms are available in that website. NOTE: if you are an international student who resides overseas and requires a student visa, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible and no later than May 1 (for admission in Fall 2006). In addition, visit the international students website to find relevant information.
It is the responsibility of each CURRENT GRADUATE STUDENT to learn the procedural steps required for MS graduation. These are highlighted in the MS procedures page of the graduate division. Learning the procedural steps enables each student to streamline the road towards graduation.
