Transportation 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.

  • 21 of these 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).

If your degree program began in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024, you will follow the guidance below:

2. Students may count up to 6 credit hours of planning courses as electives toward the MS degree in Civil Engineering.                                                                                

3. Students must complete the standard 12 credit hour transportation specialization under the MCRP degree.                                                                         

4. Students must complete the standard transportation system engineering specialization requirements under the MS degree in Civil Engineering                           

5. Students enrolled in the dual degree program must complete research in Civil and Environmental Engineering and a thesis in City Planning that is supervised by a committee comprised by faculty of both programs.  This involves taking at least 6 credit hours of CP 7000 (Master’s Thesis) and at least 6 credit hours of CEE 8900 (Special Problems).                                                             

All students must complete a minimum combined requirement of at least 67 credit hours.                                                                                                

Both degrees are awarded simultaneously.
