The Department of Civil Engineering provides Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs in civil engineering, along with an M.S. in environmental engineering. Additionally, the College of Engineering and Architecture features a Ph.D. program in engineering where civil engineering serves as a potential specialization. The department collaborates with interdisciplinary initiatives including Environmental and Conservation Sciences, Materials & Nanotechnology, and Transportation and Logistics. For the M.S. and Ph.D. in civil engineering, specialization options encompass construction, environmental, geotechnical, materials, structural, transportation, and water resources engineering, with flexibility for other related fields. Curriculum and research directions are customized to align with individual goals. Students frequently supplement their primary studies with courses from other disciplines. These programs aim to enhance technical expertise, interdisciplinary awareness, and professional readiness in civil engineering. The Ph.D. requires 90 post-baccalaureate credits (or 60 beyond a relevant M.S.) with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Candidates must establish a dissertation committee and submit a study plan within their first year. At least 30 additional credit hours must be completed from approved civil engineering graduate courses, new offerings, or cross-departmental options as determined by the student and advisory committee.
