Illinois Tech's accelerated master's program in Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering and Management enables students to earn both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering in just five years.
The undergraduate civil engineering curriculum offers comprehensive coverage of fundamental sub-disciplines (such as structures, transportation, and construction management) while allowing specialization in at least one focused area (determined collaboratively by students and academic advisors).
Through the graduate construction engineering and management program, students gain sophisticated knowledge and expertise to support decision-making across site operations, corporate strategy, industry practices, and sector-wide initiatives.
Students will master scientific principles, engineering management techniques, and business administration concepts by focusing on cultivating analytical thinking abilities for practical problem resolution and evidence-based decision processes.
First-year applicants are currently enrolled in secondary school or have completed secondary school and have not attended an institute of higher education outside of their secondary school experience.
This includes students who have taken A-levels or studied in an Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, as long as they have not completed university coursework. Sometimes these students are also referred to as freshmen, regardless of their class standing upon entering the university.
Students engaged in a college preparatory or general education curriculum generally make good candidates for Illinois Tech.
