Civil Engineering has always been an exciting yet flexible profession filled with opportunities. The Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering requires the completion of a research project in addition to coursework.

All master of engineering degree students must complete a minimum of 30 total credits. UNH bachelor’s degree students admitted to the Accelerated Master’s Degree program may register for a maximum of 8 credits of graduate-­level courses prior to completing their bachelor's degree. Such courses may upon recommendation of the department and approval of the Graduate School count toward both a bachelor's and master's degree. M.Eng. students are required to complete one of the following options as a concluding experience: Option A, Masters Project: Students must complete a 3­-credit master’s project (CEE 898 Master's Project Paper) on a civil engineering topic. Option B, Oral Exam: Students must complete an oral exam. The oral exam does not count toward the number of required credits. Option C, Written Exam: Students must complete a written exam. The written exam does not count toward the number of required credits. The M.Eng. option is designed to facilitate completion of B.S./M.Eng. civil engineering degrees within five years. M.Eng degree students are not eligible for an assistantship. For graduation, a grade of B-­ or better in each course, an overall B average (3.00 GPA), and successful completion of one of the above concluding experiences must be achieved.
