shall appoint an interim graduate adviser for each student when that student is accepted into the graduate program. The
coordinator will take into account student interests and correlated faculty interests when making this appointment.
A student must pass CE 210 with a grade of B or higher and satisfactorily complete a written examination (typically
administered in CE 210) before being eligible for Advancement to Candidacy; this satisfies both the university’s graduate
writing requirement and demonstrates the student has sufficient technical proficiency to continue in the program.
Continuation in the Program. Prior to being admitted to classified standing, a student is required to take the Graduate Record
Examination. The minimum grade considered passing is quantitative 550.
The student then should select a graduate adviser before completing 12 units of graduate study and advancing to candidacy.
Other members of his or her graduate committee shall be selected in consultation with the graduate adviser if the student has
selected Plan A. This committee shall consist of a total of three members, two of whom must be tenure/tenure track faculty.
The graduate student shall notify the department’s Graduate Committee with a letter signed by both the student and the
graduate adviser of the membership of the students’ Graduate Committee. This letter shall be placed in the student’s academic
folder.
A graduate student may change graduate advisers but such change must be approved by the department’s Graduate Committee.
The student, together with his or her graduate adviser, completes a contract program within his or her first semester of
coursework taken for graduate credit. This program must be approved by the department’s Graduate Committee. A minimum
of 12 semester hours must be earned before the average is determined.
Any semester for which the grade point average falls below 3.0 shall result in placing the affected graduate student on
probation. A second offense shall lead to disqualification. For additional information, please refer to the Division of Graduate
Studies, Administrative Academic Probation, Academic Disqualification.Program. Each master’s degree student selects, as
early as possible during the first semester of attendance, and upon consulting with and securing the approval of the graduate
adviser, a program best suited to the student’s interests and objectives.
The M.S. in Civil Engineering requires the completion of 30 units following one of three programs of study.
Plan A (Thesis)
a. 200-series CE courses (see note 1) ( 12-24 units)
b. 100-series CE or GME technical area courses (see note 2) (0-6 units)
c. Courses outside the department (see note 3) (0-6 units)
d. Thesis (6 units)
Total (30 units)
Plan B (Project)
a. 200-series CE courses (see note 1) (15-27 units)
b. 100-series CE or GME technical area courses (see note 2) (0-6 units)
c. Courses outside the department (see note 3) ( 0-6 units)
d. Project (3 units)
Total (30 units)
Plan C (Comprehensive Exam)
a. 200-series CE courses (see note 1) (18-30 units)
b. 100-series CE or GME technical area courses (see note 2) ( 0-6 units)
c. Courses outside the department (see note 3) ( 0-6 units)
Total (30 units)
Advising Notes
1. Graduate courses in civil engineering — select from CE 205, 206, 210, 220, 223, 225, 230, 232, 233, 235, 236, 237, 239,

2. 100-series technical area courses in civil and geomatics engineering — select from CE 125, 131, 134, 136, 137, 141,
144, 151, 153, 191T; GME 125, 126, 135, 145, 152, 153, 161, 174, 175, 191T; and ME 144. A minimum grade of B is
required. Similar courses previously taken and counted towards another degree are excluded.
3. 100-series and 200-series courses outside civil and geomatics engineering are in disciplines best suited to the students
graduate program as approved by the program adviser. This includes mathematics, statistics, management, business,
geology, physics, chemistry, health science, and biology. A minimum grade of B is required. Similar courses previously
taken and counted towards another degree are excluded.
