Masters degree required for the Civil PE?

So this is for sure going to happen? I thought it was still being researched.

Yes, it appears so. However, again, it's just "model law," so it's up to each state to incorporate it or not.

Where did you get your masters? Does it still require so many units? Did you have to take extra classes because your undergrad was different? Because I think 10 classes is very typical.

I went to the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey (MS in Information Technology Management). I think you hit the nail on the head... just about anyone in the Navy that qualifies for grad school can do it in ITM so there's a bit of baselining to bring different undergraduates to the right level. I had forgot that I validated almost a quarter of the requirements (my undergrad was in Computer and Systems Engineering) and took whatever interested me (OR stuff was crazy-hard - I'm glad I didn't take it for credit).

Yes... NPS is still the same - a two-year program for ITM. The MBA program is 18-months.

Thanks everyone for calibrating me...

Right... no state *has* to use the model law and I'd imagine implementation will happen at different times (if it happens).

I think my MS was 33 credit hours. You might have been on the quarter system rather than semester

Even the quarters system shouldn't be that high. Ohio State does quarters, and their masters is only 45 credit hours.
