土木和环境工程中的结构选项为解决复杂的结构工程问题提供了有关高级概念和技术的指导和研究。在结构工程专业攻读硕士学位的学生必须开设结构分析课程，其中包括静态不确定结构以及钢和混凝土结构设计的初级或高级课程。与教师共同开发结构工程的学生学习计划，以满足个人的需求。这些本科课程是研究生课程的核心先决条件，并且在这些方面有缺陷的学生必须先学习这些课程，然后才能学习高级课程。
The structural option within Civil and Environmental Engineering offers instruction and research in advanced concepts and techniques in the solution of complex structural engineering problems. A student seeking an M.S. in Structural Engineering must have a structural analysis course which includes statically indeterminate structures and junior or senior level courses in the design of steel and concrete structures. Student study programs in structural engineering are developed with a faculty advisor to meet the needs of the individual. These undergraduate courses are core graduate course prerequisites and students deficient in these areas must take these courses before they can take advanced courses.
