While we're equipping our students with the knowledge and tools that can apply to the Civil and Environmental Engineering profession today, our real goal is to give students the advanced tools required to address where we the practice is headed in the coming decades. One of the real advantages for students at a cutting-edge research university like Stanford is that the advancements developed in our labs "trickle-down" and becomes quickly incorporated into the curriculum.
A student with a master's degree civil engineering may satisfy the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in civil and environmental engineering by completing 135 units including an acceptable dissertation. Up to 45 units of credit for graduate study completed elsewhere may be transferred toward this degree, such that a minimum of 90 units are completed at Stanford.
In addition to completion of a satisfactory research dissertation, successful performance is required on both a departmental general qualifying exam and a University dissertation oral examination.
