Our specialized Civil Engineering program equips graduates to enhance societal and economic progress through eco-conscious infrastructure design. From the highways we travel to the clean water we consume, from the structures we inhabit to the natural waterways we cherish, civil engineers shape numerous aspects of daily life.
The PhD curriculum aims to deliver expert-level understanding in selected disciplines while readying students for academic and research professions. Doctoral candidates must generate novel insights within their primary field. Each student must prove their capability to execute substantial research initiatives and effectively communicate results, producing work suitable for scholarly publication.
The doctoral program involves structured coursework, innovative investigation, and thesis development. Typically requiring 12 credit hours of 7000-level courses beyond a master's degree, the program mandates at least two years of full-time study and research, with one academic year completed on-site. For off-campus research, students must maintain proximity to the university and make frequent visits.

Qualification Requirements
To qualify for admission to the PhD in Civil Engineering program, you must normally have completed a master's-level degree in Engineering.
Students in a master's program who have achieved an average GPA of 4.0 in their last 60 credit hours of undergraduate studies may be allowed to transfer to the PhD program without being required to write a master's thesis provided they meet the following conditions:
Completion of 6 graduate courses (18 credits) with a grade of A or better in each;
Satisfactory progress in the research program;
Written recommendation from the supervisor, the thesis advisory committee and a selection committee (appointed by the head);
Approval by the department and Faculty of Graduate Studies.
The transfer must take place within 20 months of initial registration in the master's program. Following transfer, all the requirements of the doctoral program apply, including the completion of an additional 12 credit hours at the 7000 level.
Qualification for admission to the civil engineering graduate program is contingent on first receiving tentative acceptance from an academic advisor who will accept you into their research group.
