Geotechnical Graduate Program

The Geotechnical Engineering group of the CEE Department at UNC Charlotte offers a Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.C.E.) and a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.). For both of these degree options, students may choose to follow a career path in traditional Geotechnical Engineering or a path in Environmental Geotechnics. Course requirements for each of these paths differ. For more details about the Masters level graduate program, please visit the Civil and Environmental Engineering website. The Geotechnical Engineering group also participates in the interdisciplinary INES Ph.D. program in Infrastructure and the Environment. For details, please visit the INES website.
