Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Concentration in Environmental and Water Resource Engineering-M.S.
This MS is designed for students who have completed a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, although domestic students with related undergraduate degrees may be considered for provisional admission. The MS educates students in the theory and practice of civil engineering science and design, with a technical concentration. The master's degree is increasingly expected for high level practice in civil engineering, and prepares graduates to practice in civil engineering for: federal, state, or local government; engineering design firms; construction firms; public utilities; non-governmental organizations; and local and regional planning firms, among others. The MS degree serves as a foundation for subsequent study in a doctoral program in civil engineering, as well as for graduate studies in architecture, law, business, economics, finance, and public policy and administration.

The Information Technology, BS prepares students to apply IT to support business processes. The degree produces graduates with strong problem-solving, writing, and communication skills who successfully compete for technical employment and are prepared for advanced study. The objectives of the B.S. program in Information Technology relate to the expected abilities of the graduates three to five years after graduation.  

The objectives include:

• Be employed in a position in which they have successfully used their information technology skills as evidenced by achieving improved organizational objectives  
• Progress through increasing levels of responsibility in the workplace  
• Demonstrate ethical, social and professional responsibility consistent with organizational values  
• Work effectively in teams, whether as a participant or as a leader
• Grow through self-study, continuing education and professional development relevant to their profession

Information Systems-M.S.
Modern information systems manage data, information and knowledge to support enterprise functions and decision making as well as human social activity over the Internet. Increasingly, these systems are distributed, collaborative, involve big data and hosted in the cloud.

The mission of the MSIS program is to allow students of diverse baccalaureate and professional backgrounds to obtain a high-quality MS degree that:

• Provides students with the theoretical knowledge and hands-on project experience needed to analyze, design, build, deploy, maintain, manage and promote effective organizational use of modern information systems;
• Allows students to further specialize in related areas of big data, data and knowledge engineering, decision support systems, web-based software engineering and information security assurance; and,
• Prepares students for careers in information systems in large and small organizations in both industry and government.

Analytical skills and techniques are critical to solving the world's toughest problems. In order to solve conflict we must first understand it.
