Degree Requirements

M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering

The CEE Department offers an integrated course of study covering the theory, implementation, and design for those seeking the degree of M.S. in CEE. w88 online casino betting students seeking the M.S. degree are given the opportunity, with the help of a w88 online casino betting advisor, to perform research through the “thesis” option (Plan A) and/or to take coursework focused on an area of specialization; the latter can be achieved through the “coursework only” option (Plan B). The credit requirements for each option are provided below.

While it is not necessary for students to immediately decide which option to take, it is important that the students pursuing either option meet frequently with their w88 online casino betting advisor to seek advice and consultation as they proceed in their endeavors. If an assistantship has been assigned, the person who is responsible for your assistantship is often the w88 online casino betting advisor (equivalent to the Thesis Committee chair). Those without an assistantship or Plan B students should also select a w88 online casino betting advisor (Examination Committee chair) from their chosen subarea of specialization. By the end of second semester the student should submit – Declaration of Advisor/Major Advisor/w88 online casino betting Chair form to the w88 online casino betting School.

Students should meet with their w88 online casino betting advisors prior to every semester to select courses that fulfill the requirements of the programs of study. The core and elective courses vary depending on the subarea of specialization selected within the CEE Department, and students should consult the catalog listing for their selected area of specialization. The w88 online casino betting advisor will help with the selection of those courses. More details on the timeline of various activities that need to be undertaken are described in Section 4.0 and summarized in Appendix A.

For both options of M.S. degree, the following University polices/requirements apply: (1) Maximum of 6 credits may be taken as S/U grading; (2) Maximum of 12 credits (including transfer credits) may be completed prior to admission to the w88 online casino betting program; (3) All requirements (credits) for degree (including transfer credits) must be completed within six years immediately preceding the awarding of the M.S. degree; and (4) Students should be continuously enrolled with a minimum of 3 w88 online casino betting course credits in each of the fall and spring semesters.

The student should work with their w88 online casino betting advisor to select an Examination Committee and submit a Program of Study by the end of the semester prior to graduation. Details on the composition of the Examination Committee and its role are presented in Section 5.0.

M.S. Plan A: Thesis Option

This option requires a minimum of 26 credits that includes:

  • minimum 20 credits from coursework, of which, no more than 2 credits are from CEE 750, and
  • 3 - 6 thesis credits

To comply with the w88 online casino betting School's requirements, students must take:

  • minimum 9 course credits at the 700-level
  • minimum 18 credits earned at the University of Nevada, Reno

M.S. Plan B: Courses-only Option

This option requires a minimum of 26 credits that includes:

A Ph.D. degree emphasizes an advanced knowledge of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The CEE Department offers an in-depth, cutting-edge curriculum for those w88 online casino betting students seeking the Ph.D. degree. Students are involved in substantial original research, and in advancing scientific knowledge in specific areas.

It is important that the students pursuing a Ph.D. meet frequently with their w88 online casino betting advisor (Ph.D. Committee chair) to seek advice and consultation as they proceed in their endeavors. If an assistantship has been assigned, the person who is responsible for your assistantship is often the w88 online casino betting advisor (Ph.D. Committee chair). Students without an assistantship also should select a w88 online casino betting advisor from their chosen subarea of specialization. The student should work very closely with the w88 online casino betting advisor when selecting the needed courses and proceeding with the requirements of the program of study.

Ph.D. Credit Requirements

The credit requirements for the doctoral w88 online casino betting in CEE are the following:

A Ph.D. requires a minimum of 62 w88 online casino betting credits beyond a B.S. degree and the requirements include:

  • minimum 38 credits from coursework; and for the coursework credit, maximum of 22 w88 online casino betting credits (grade B or better) from a completed master’s degree program or previous post-baccalaureate work may be applied towards the program (including grad special and transfer, the total cannot be more than 22 credits). There is no limit on the number of units transferred when students earn their master’s en route to Ph.D. in a University doctoral program.
  • minimum coursework shall include a maximum 2 credits from CEE 750
  • minimum 18 course credits at 700-level. As many as 18 of these credits may be used from a master’s degree w88 online casino betting.

Transfer Credits

Transfer credits are credits transferred from another institution. Credits completed at the University in another program or as a w88 online casino betting special do not need to be transferred. Transfer credit is requested on the w88 online casino betting Credit Transfer Evaluation Request form available at the w88 online casino betting School website and must be signed by the student, major advisor, and w88 online casino betting director. Only courses with a grade of "C" or better may be transferred to a master's program; only courses with a grade of "B" or better may be transferred to a doctoral program. Transfer credits applied to a master’s program must comply with the time limitation on master’s program (6 years). Thus, if a student took a course five years prior to admission, they would have to complete the degree within one year for the course to apply to the degree. Credits from a completed master’s degree will be exempt from the 8-year time limitation for those students pursuing a doctoral degree. No more than 12 credits completed either prior to admission to a w88 online casino betting program or transferred from another institution may be applied to a master's degree. For doctoral programs a maximum of 22 credits from a previously completed master's program or other post B.S. degree program may be applied.

w88 online casino betting must list each course for which they wish to receive transfer credit on the w88 online casino betting Credit Transfer Evaluation Request form. In the column labeled “Required Course,” if the transfer course is intended to substitute for a core or required course, list the course number. Otherwise, list 600 elective or 700 elective. All credits used to satisfy degree requirements for the master's degree, except thesis credits, may be eligible for transfer.

Advisory/Examining committees should consist of members of the w88 online casino betting faculty. A listing of eligible w88 online casino betting faculty can be obtained at the website graduate w88 mobile faculty. Of these, 2 faculty members — who do not have to be from the student’s department — represent the student’s area of specialization, and 1 faculty member is selected to serve as the w88 online casino betting School representative.

The w88 online casino betting School representative must be from outside the candidate’s department, not necessarily outside the college. For each member of the w88 online casino betting School faculty, an affiliated department(s) is listed and the faculty member may not be the w88 online casino betting School representative for the candidate’s department.

Students may request the appointment of a committee member from the faculty of another university or from a relevant discipline or profession, provided the prospective member has achieved a record of distinction. They are approved as an “additional inside member.” Any member outside of the University may not serve as the w88 online casino betting School representative. Formal approval of the student’s advisory/examining committee is made by the w88 online casino betting dean.

In the case of interdisciplinary/inter-department degree programs, the committee may consist entirely of faculty from that interdisciplinary/inter-department provided that the role of the w88 online casino betting School representative can be filled by a w88 online casino betting faculty member who holds an academic appointment in a department different from that of the chair of the committee.

The Advisory/Examining Committee approves the student’s program of study and guides the students through their w88 online casino betting program. The students should maintain close contact with their committee, keeping them informed of the progress and allowing them ample time to review drafts of the student’s thesis. The students should be aware of their schedules when trying to arrange committee meetings and thesis defense. Note that it is the student’s responsibility to make these arrangements.

M.S. Plan B Advisory w88 online casino betting

The w88 online casino betting School does not require assembly of an Advisory Committee for M.S. Plan B students. However, the CEE Department requires assembly of a minimum 2-member committee to administer the Oral Comprehensive exam.

The committee must be formed no later than end of fourth semester. For students going directly from the bachelor’s degree to the Ph.D., the Advisory/Examining Committee should be formed prior to the completion of 24 units in w88 online casino betting courses. Students entering a Ph.D. program with a master’s degree should form the Advisory/Examining Committee within the third semester of enrollment.

The w88 online casino betting School representative must be from outside the candidate’s department, not necessarily outside the college. For each member of the w88 online casino betting School faculty, an affiliated department(s) is listed and the faculty member may not be the w88 online casino betting School representative for the candidate’s department. For a doctoral degree, the “faculty member from a department in a field related to the student’s major department” could be from the CEE Department but must be outside the candidate’s subarea of the CEE Department.

Students may request the appointment of a committee member from the faculty of another university or from a relevant discipline or profession, provided the prospective member has achieved a record of distinction. They are approved as an “additional inside member.” Any member outside of the University may not serve as the w88 online casino betting School representative. Formal approval of the student’s Advisory/Examining Committee is made by the w88 online casino betting Dean.

The Advisory/Examining Committee approves the student’s program of study and guides the student through his or her w88 online casino betting program. The student should maintain close contact with his or her committee, keeping them informed of the progress and allowing them ample time to review drafts of the student’s dissertation. The student should be aware of his or her schedules when trying to arrange committee meetings and thesis defense. Note that it is the student’s responsibility to make these arrangements.

    4. If you are a Ph.D. w88 online casino betting and you have enough credits you may consider graduating with a M.S. degree on your old research topic before starting a new research topic with a new advisor.
  6. After your decision, approach another faculty member about being an (co-) advisor for you.
    1. Frame your approach with positive information, such as new interests and new possibilities. Be professional at all times.
    2. Focus discussions on your interests and goals and not on negative incidents or difficulties.
    3. Avoid doing or saying anything that could have negative ramifications for your future career.
  7. Notify your current advisor and discuss and arrange a timeframe for completing any remaining work with your current advisor before the switch takes place.
