Mission Statement

The mission of The Citadel’s Master of Science in Civil Engineering program is to provide a student-centered learning environment focused on advanced applied engineering techniques and professional skills development for principled leaders in the engineering community through a rigorous curriculum, emphasizing practical engineering concepts, strong professional values, and a disciplined work ethic.

Admission Requirements

Applicants will be admitted to the Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE) degree program on the basis of professional and scholastic achievement, along with their aptitude for graduate study. Other qualities appropriate to graduate study are also considered. Anyone holding a bachelor’s degree from an ABET accredited college or university is eligible for consideration. Other technical bachelor’s degrees will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Provisional Admission: Applicants may be admitted provisionally if their GPA does not meet minimum requirements. Students admitted provisionally are limited to take two civil engineering courses and must receive a grade of “B” or better in each engineering course to continue in the program.
