Concurrent Masters Program in Civil Engineering and Planning
Transportation Systems Focus Area
Program Options
Students enrolled in the concurrent MSCE/MURP degree program choose between a
thesis option and a comprehensive exam option. The thesis option requires completing:
- 72 units of study (eight of which may be taken in conjunction with the thesis research);
- the completion of an original research project and the writing of a thesis to describe it;
- required core courses (see below); and
- enough units of approved electives to meet the total requirement of 72 units
The comprehensive exam option requires completing:
- 72 units of study;
- a professional report, which represents a substantial piece of planning practice,
as the capstone event;
- required core courses (see below); and
- enough units of approved electives to meet the total requirement of 72 units
