The Department of Civil Engineering offers a graduate program ranging from fundamental and theoretical to application-oriented. Some of the research also involves interdisciplinary and collaborative studies. The Department of Civil Engineering offers an MS degree program in five major areas of specialization: structural and material engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction management, ecology and disaster prevention engineering, and hydraulic engineering.

Within a maximum of 4 years since entering the MS program, an MS student must complete at least 24 graduate credit hours and submit a thesis to the examining committee consisting of at least three members. Upon the successful completion of the oral examination conducted by the examining committee, a Master of Science degree is awarded to the student. Depending on academic performance, a limited number of selective MS students may apply for direct admission to the Ph.D. program.

A summer internship is optional for MS students enrolled in the Civil Engineering program. The internship can take place in the summer before the first year of study.

Many international students receive some form of Taiwan scholarship from the Taiwan (ROC) government. The scholarship covers one-year of language school before entering the University. For more information, please see:
