AB  -                       A New Coastal Engineering Graduate ProgramA Master of Science degree in Engineering with a Coastal Engineering area of concentration hasbeen approved, students enrolled and the first graduates are scheduled for May 2015. This is thefirst coastal or ocean engineering graduate program at an HBCU. Students may chose a thesis,project or course only option requiring 24 semester hours plus a six hour thesis, 27 semesterhours plus a three hour project and 36 semester hours respectively. All options require an oralexamination. Seven core courses, one mandatory, comprise the coastal engineeringconcentration and the student must enroll in at least four (12 semester hours) core courses. Thestudent may choose the remaining courses (with approval of graduate committee chair) fromamong the remaining three coastal engineering core courses and a large variety of other civil andenvironmental engineering courses. The paper describes the core courses and the array ofoptions that the student has to complete course work in his/her major civil engineering area ofinterest (structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, geological, environmental orcomputational engineering). The flexibility of course selection enables the graduate student totailor their coursework to their major area(s) of career interest. Laboratory facilities available tostudents are described. The program has a coastal natural disaster focus and was established aspart of the Coastal Hazards Center of Excellence sponsored by the Department of HomelandSecurity. An undergraduate coastal engineering concentration in the BS Civil Engineeringdegree program and a Ph.D. in Engineering with a coastal engineering concentration are alsodiscussed.
