		Master’s Program	Ph.D. Program	Master’s+Ph.D. Combined Program
Completion	Number of Registration	Minimum: 4 semesters Maximum: 8 semesters	Minimum: 4 semesters Maximum: 12 semesters	Minimum: 6 semesters Maximum: 16 semesters (Since the regular semester is 8 semesters, semesters beyond are considered excess semesters)
	Minimum Course Completion Credit	Minimum 24 credits	Minimum 36 credits	Minimum 60 credits
	GPA	Average GPA of minimum 3.0
	Graduate Thesis Research Credit	6 credits	12 credits	18 credits
	Graduate Thesis Research Credit	Student can take classes repeatedly within the acquisition limit; however, no more than one course can be retaken in a semester (Combined program: up to 2 courses if approved by the advising professor). Above are the maximum course credits student can receive regarding Graduate Thesis Research that count towards program completion requirement. There is no minimum required course credit.
	Major Course Requirements for Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering	12 credits	18 credits	30 credits
		At least 50% of the minimum number of course credits must be completed by graduate-level subjects in Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Graduate subjects with course numbering 457.*, M1586., M3204.) Graduate students majoring in Urban Planning and Urban Design** in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering may take courses held in “Graduate School of Environmental Studies” and “Interdisciplinary Program in Urban Design Major” to meet major subject requirements. Credit for Dissertation Research (457.803) count towards major course credits of Graduate School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Credits earned in undergraduate courses in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are not included in 50% major subject credit requirement.
Graduation	Thesis Submission Qualification Exam	Must Pass General Examination (Major) and Foreign Language Exam (English/Korean) General Examination (Major): Those who have registered for at least 2 semesters, have completed educations that are held once in the beginning of every semester (March/September) (Environmental Safety Education Program and Life Respect ducation(Suicide Prevention) Class must be completed) Foreign Language Exam: English examination is substituted with regular test scores (Minimum TEPS: 601 or Minimum TOEFL: 86) International Students: Choice between English/Korean(Students whose native language is English and/or those from countries where English is an official language must choose Korean.) Students who took “Korean Language and Culture 1 or 2” that are offered for International graduate students can choose to be excepted from the Korean Test of the Thesis Submission Qualification Exam. In such case, the course credit is not included in the degree completion requirement. (Course must be completed by the previous semester of exam registration)
	Acceptance Period of Thesis Submission	Within 4 years of program completion	Within 6 years of program completion	Within 6 years of program completion
	Acceptance Period of Thesis Submission	The duration of military service and pregnancy/delivery do not count towards above period (Submit supporting documents) Extension of deadline: If applicant applies for extension of towards the deadline for submitting a thesis (Master’s: 4 years, Ph. D.: 6 years), the period deadline can be extended up to 2 years by the department dean. Deadline overdue student’s registration of research student: Amongst students who missed the deadline for the thesis submission deadline extension (4+2 years after completion of master's course, 6+2 years after completion of doctorate course), those with approved reason will be granted an additional opportunity to submit the thesis within 3 years with the approval of department dean after deliberation by the academic committee (Approved for 3 years from the date of application).
	Review of Dissertation	Registration of prospective applicants, submission of documents, and examination proceedings (completion of registration is required for research students). Those who have passed all the screening procedures determined by the review committee appointed by the dean of the affiliated department. Refer to thesis submission review plan.
Note		“Application for Course Approval” must be submitted to the department office in case the student registers for Graduate-level courses from other departments (Refer to the archived form on department webpage). “Application for Acceptance of Undergraduate Credits” must be submitted to the department office in case the student registers for undergraduate-level courses. (Refer to the archived form on department webpage. Only up to 6 course credits in ndergraduate-level courses completed may be approved to meet the graduate program completion requirements.) Students who wish to submit the “Renouncement from the Combined Master’s+Ph.D. Program” form must do so on web portal during the period of change in registration status after the approval of advising professor. Course of same number, same course title cannot be re-taken during the completion of each program of graduate school (Thesis Research course excluded). => According to the regulation of aggregate recognition of courses (operation of graduate-level courses for Master’s program and Ph.D. program are integrated in principle.), they are considered as repetition. In case of subjects that are classified as Curriculum Group II in graduate school program, they are recognized as separate subjects if the course subtitle is different. Graduate program course guidebook must be read. If there is an internal regulation of the laboratory and Smart City Engineering major , they must also be followed.
