M.S. in Critical Infrastructure Systems
Degree Requirements
For students lacking an appropriate background, a customized program of bridge courses will be developed in consultation with the graduate advisor, in order to address potential deficiencies. Students with engineering, management, computer science or general sciences degree are required to have some background in probability and statistics. Such a background can be obtained by taking a bridge course such as MATH 279 Statistics & Probability for Engr.
A minimum of 30 degree credits is required (excluding bridge courses). Students must consult with their graduate advisor to develop a suitable program of study. A minimum GPA of 3.0 must be maintained in core courses and overall. Students who receive financial aid as Research Assistants must complete 6 credits of Master’s Thesis.
With permission of their research advisor, students intending to do an MS thesis should first register in the CE 700B (Masters Project). Students must receive a satisfactory (S) grade in 700B before registering for CE 701B (Master's Thesis). Students taking CE 701B must register in the immediate following semester with the same advisor. The MS thesis topic should be continuation of the work done in CE 700B.
