Graduate study is characterized by intellectual curiosity and the desire to contribute to human knowledge. It must be more than a mere continuation of undergraduate work and should be contemplated only by those students who have demonstrated in their earlier studies exceptional intellectual ability and the capacity for independent thought and investigation.

The School of Architecture, Engineering and Applied Sciences offers courses leading to the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. Graduate degree programs can be completed in one and a half or two academic years for MS degrees, and in three or four academic years in case of Ph.D.

The School offers MS Degree Programs in Mathematics, Computer Science, Petroleum Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture in combination with Management.

The MS degree programs require 39-45 graduate credits depending on majors, including 6 credits for the Master's thesis.
Students must complete the major requirements with a G.P.A. of 75 or above.
