项目名称：
Master of Science in civil and environmental engineering with a focus on environmental engineering and science
美国西北大学环境工程硕士项目介绍：
要完成这个项目，需要完成如下要求的任务：
1)学习时长：3 quarters(一般而言，每quarter修读3-4 units课程)
2)按如下方式12 graduate-level units：
•Complete environmental engineering and science master’s degree core program courses (6 units), plus the CIV_ENV 516 seminar each quarter. Students who have already completed equivalent coursework will not be required to repeat courses at Northwestern.
•Complete specialization courses (3 units) to be approved by environmental engineering and science faculty.
•Complete graduate-level elective courses (3 units) to be approved by environmental engineering and science faculty.
不需要修读先修课的，修读时间是3 quarter或者9个月;如果需要修读先修课的，则需要额外的时间修读完成。此外，独立的research project也可能会需要额外的时间完成。
传统的MS项目是不要求thesis的。但是，如果教授邀请，那么学生可完成，并获得一定的thesis-research credit。一般而言，这个research thesis是PhD学生所需要完成的。
