The CU Denver Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering caters to students with undergraduate degrees outside engineering. This interdisciplinary program provides foundational engineering knowledge while enabling students to broaden their education through complementary coursework. Tailored for working professionals, our graduate programs emphasize practical research experience.
CU Denver's Master of Engineering (MEng) in Civil Engineering serves students without prior engineering degrees. The curriculum delivers core engineering concepts through an interdisciplinary approach, supplemented by elective courses from related fields.
Our graduate programs prioritize hands-on research opportunities. The civil engineering graduate track accommodates both full-time and part-time students seeking to develop their expertise in civil engineering and associated disciplines. While some students enroll full-time, others balance evening classes with full-time employment. Completion time for the MEng program generally ranges from 2-4 years, with most graduate courses scheduled for afternoon or evening sessions.
The Hydrologic, Environmental, and Sustainability Engineering (HESE) specialization within CU Denver's Civil Engineering Department integrates water cycle science, environmental systems, and sustainable development principles - the essential concept that engineered solutions should promote economic vitality, ecological balance, and social equity.
