Description
Michigan Technological University offers a Master's of Science (MS) in Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering. The degree requires two semesters of course work totaling 21 semester units of academic study prior to Peace Corps service. Students can opt for either a thesis tract or research report tract. Students take technical and non-technical coursework to prepare for their Peace Corps assignment and also have electives available for their particular area of interest (i.e., environmental, water resources, transporation/materials, structural, geotechnical, construction management).
Requirements
ABET-accredited bachelor's degree in engineering is recommended; GRE score is required. Non-engineering degree applicants can be accepted into the program but typically require one to two semesters of "make-up" course work in order to meet engineering accreditation requirements.
