Courses for a One Year Master's in Structural Engineering
The One-year Master’s in Structural Engineering (1MSE) equips students with advanced knowledge in the fundamentals of structural analysis and design. The 30 credit program requires completion of a minimum of 26 course credits including eight technical courses and two seminars that fall into three categories. These courses can be completed in two full-time semesters. For the remaining 4 credits, participants must complete one full-time summer internship.
