Master of Science in Civil Engineering
Geosystems 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 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).
Master’s students should take:
Core Geosystem courses: 4 courses
Applied Geosystems-1 course (2 if continuing to PhD)
Advanced Geosystems-1 course if continuing to PhD
MS Only-18 credits of GEO
MS Continuing to PhD: 24 courses (can include 6 credits of Special Problems)
