Requirements for the Master of Ocean Engineering (MOcE) Degree

OSU Graduate School Policies Governing Masters Degrees apply with the following additions:

Thesis: A thesis is required for the Master of Ocean Engineering degree. Students earning the MOcE include 6-9 credits of CE 503 (Thesis) on their Program of Study. In addition, students need to submit the MOcE Checklist along with their Program of Study. All other requirements for the MOcE degree mirror those for the thesis option of the Master of Science (MS) degree in Civil Engineering.

Further information regarding Masters Degrees and the Program of Study can be found at :

See OSU Graduate School Policies Governing Masters Degrees

See Program of Study Form

An example MOcE Program of Study can be found at: M.Oc.E


Non-Thesis Option: Students majoring in Coastal & Ocean Engineering who choose the non-thesis option will earn the Master of Science (MS) degree in Civil Engineering. Requirements for this degree can be found at the CCEE website at: Master of Science (MS) degree. Students in the Coastal & Ocean Engineering Program should discuss with their advisor how many bound copies of their M.S. project report will be required upon completion.

M.Eng. Option: Students majoring in Coastal & Ocean Engineering who choose the coursework-only option will earn the Master of Engineering degree in Civil Engineering. Requirements for this degree can be found at the CCEE website at: Master of Engineering (MEng) degree.


Requirements for the PhD Degree

Coastal & Ocean Engineering students seeking the PhD Degree should see the CCEE website for PhD guidelines.

Information on the PhD Comprehensive (Qualifying) Exam requirements for Coastal & Ocean students can be found here.

Continuing Enrollment

When graduate students schedule an oral preliminary examination or final examination, the Graduate School staff will remind them of the requirement to register for a minimum of three credits. However, because graduate students are not required to schedule program planning meetings with the Graduate School, they may not be warned in advance that they are required to register for a minimum of three credits,even if their only use of university resources is a program planning meeting. If students are not prepared to register for three credits, they should delay this meeting until the next term in which they register.

 

 

Graduate School Survival Guide

This information put out by the graduate school covers a broad range of topics associated with graduate studies at Oregon State. The Survival Guide pertains to all fields of study, including Ocean and Coastal Engineering. A number of forms required for graduate study are available as well as general information regarding policies and .procedures.
