Introductory graduate program courses must include the following:
- At least one course each in mathematics and in engineering sciences. Students emphasizing environmental engineering are required to include CIEG 632, 634, and 636. Students emphasizing ocean engineering are required to include CIEG 639 and 672, and MEEG 863.
- At least 6 credits at the 800 level and at least 9 credits of courses in the field of study. The student should consult his or her advisor in selecting courses to fit these requirements. Petitions for required course substitutions may be made via the advisor to the department Graduate Committee. A maximum of 9 credits are transferable to the University of Delaware toward any master's degree.
Master's Degree — Non-Thesis Option
The objective of the non-thesis master's option is to provide students who do not aim to develop research skills an opportunity to obtain an advanced degree of the quality and depth of the master's degree with thesis. The non-thesis programs are designed for students with relevant experience in industry, whose employment precludes them from doing a master's thesis. Students originally enrolled in the thesis master's degree program may not transfer to the non-thesis option except under special conditions and with the approval of the thesis advisor and the Graduate Committee.
The non-thesis master's degree requires a total of 30 course credits. This total must consist of the core courses specified below together with elective courses selected with the approval of a faculty advisor. (The courses for the non-thesis options correspond to the course requirements for the traditional master's degree programs with thesis.) The non-thesis master's degree in the area of environmental engineering also requires passing a comprehensive examination. Petitions for core course substitutions may be made via the advisor to the department Graduate Committee. A maximum of 9 credits are transferable to the University of Delaware toward any master's degree.
