To qualify for the degree of Master of Science in Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering, the students must complete a minimum of 46 quarter units, including elective and required core courses, within the School of Engineering. Required and elective courses for the structural engineering, general civil engineering, and construction management tracks are provided below. Students may elect to do a design project or research project. Students undertaking a design project would apply a new technique or method in the analysis or design of a structure, system, or element, and this must be documented in a design report. Students undertaking a research project would develop a new technique, method, component, or design criteria, and this must be documented in a conference or journal publication or report.
Course requirements can be found in the under Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering. As a planning guide, the quarters in which graduate courses have been typically been offered are shown on the CESE Grad Courses 2023. Note that not all courses are offered every year, and many courses are offered in alternating years.
Course requirements for the SE, GCE, CEM and WEE tracks are summarized in the following table:

[7 units] composed of: A minimum of 4 units from at least two of the three areas in the Graduate Core. Remaining units may be fulfilled by any combination of graduate core, technical electives, and Cooperative Education courses (ENGR 288, 299). |
Units are shown in parentheses: x/y indicates x-unit course with y-unit lab. No more than 6 units from CENG 293, 295, and 297 may be used to satisfy degree requirements. Taking Required Technical Course(s) that repeat previously taken course(s) is discouraged; in such cases, Elective Technical course(s) may be substituted. In rare occasions, program plans may deviate from these requirements with Department approval.
* Replace with CENG 246 if a timber design course was taken previously.
**Courses listed in the required section not taken to satisfy that requirement may be used as technical electives. An advisor may approve selected upper-level undergraduate classes (no more than 12 units total) that do not duplicate course content of graduate courses in the program of studies.
^ May simultaneously satisfy a Graduate Core requirement, but course credit may only count once toward the degree. Balance of credits shall be made of technical electives.
