The Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSCE) program at the University of Washington College of Engineering equips students with advanced knowledge and skills to address complex environmental and infrastructure challenges. Students can specialize in one of six core disciplines: Construction, Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydrology and Hydrodynamics, Structures and Mechanics, or Transportation Engineering. The program offers both thesis (research track) and professional (coursework) options. Full-time study typically takes 9 months to 2 years to complete, while flexible, part-time online tracks may require up to 3 years. The curriculum requires completion of a minimum of 42 credits and allows for a mix of in-person and online courses, enabling working professionals to balance study and career. Graduates pursue careers in industry, academia, or further doctoral study.
