The courses must be logically related and the program must be approved by the graduate adviser.

A thirty-semester-hour degree plan is also available under the report option, which includes a report prepared in Architectural Engineering 398R according to procedures set by the Graduate School; and under an option that includes a report prepared in Architectural Engineering 398D, or an approved program of coursework only, according to procedures set by the Graduate Studies Committee. Coursework in both architectural and civil engineering may be used to fulfill major area course requirements.
