Construction and Infrastructure Systems Engineering
Master of Science in Civil Engineering
Georgia Tech and CEE policy can be complicated but you should always refer to the CEE Handbook and the Georgia Tech Catalog.
- All our Master’s degree programs are 30 credits of approved courses. Please view the page that applies to your specialization below.
- 21 of those credits must be at the 6000 level or above.
- 9 credits can be undergrad courses, but must be 4000 level only. They must be approved courses.
- A maximum of 3 credits of Pass/Fail courses can count towards your Master’s degree (with the exception of thesis credits).
*Non-Thesis Option:
18 credits in Specialization Courses
12 credits in Approved Electives
*Thesis Option:
12 credits in Specialization Courses
12 credits in Approved Electives
6 credits in Master’s Thesis (CEE 7000)
*CSE differs from this model. Please refer to the CSE Page.

Notes
* Greater than 6 credits are not counted toward required total degree hours (30).
** These course options are for MS students not for BS/MS students who took the courses in their BS study. BS/MS students can get credits towards major when these courses are taken at the MS level (i.e., it is
acceptable as long as the courses are not counted toward their BS study).
*** The availability of approved elective courses to CEE students is subject to the discretion of the
college/school/ department offering the course. CEE 8900 should be considered an “independent study,” with a semester-long focus on course content or a topic. Examples could be replicating course content from a course that is not offered this semester, delivery of a custom-designed course offering, or other similar arrangements. It can be taken as letter-grade.
CEE 8902 should ONLY be used for non-thesis GRAs or GTAs. It cannot count toward a CEE degree.
CEE 8956 should be used for research-based credits for MS non-thesis students. It should be considered
similar to CEE 7000. All sections are now pass-fail, and a maximum of three credits can count toward the MS degree.
