Course Overview
Students admitted to graduate standing with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering (or its equivalent) can satisfy the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering by completing three full-time quarters of residency and a minimum of 45 units of study beyond the bachelor degree, of which at least 24 units must be courses within the School of Engineering. All of the 45 units of MS study must be taken at Stanford, and an average grade point average (GPA) of 2. 75 or higher must be maintained for all Stanford course work. No more than 6 units of coursework that is offered with a letter grade option can be taken for pass/no credit. No courses numbered less than 100 can count toward the MS degree. EES requires at least 30 such units that must be taken at the graduate level (courses numbered 200 or higher). The coursework must form a coherent program of study approved by the student's faculty advisor.
