The Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering's graduate program has a global reputation for shaping students into engineering leaders across practice, research, and academia. We encourage driven, high-achieving students to apply for our M.S.E. and Ph.D. programs.
Today's intricate challenges at the intersection of urban development, water resources, and energy systems require engineers with both specialized expertise and broad understanding. CAEE equips students with the knowledge foundation and collaborative skills necessary to pioneer tomorrow's sustainable technologies and systems. Our approach combines rigorous fundamental research with practical applications through innovative teaching methods.
Graduate students can engage with numerous research centers, joining a vibrant academic community while pursuing their specialized interests. Featuring cutting-edge facilities, our program prepares engineers to lead in diverse fields including industry, academia, and public service.
While an engineering undergraduate degree is preferred, outstanding applicants from other disciplines may be admitted with the condition of completing prerequisite undergraduate courses tailored to their academic background.
We provide Master of Science in Engineering degrees in both Civil Engineering and Environmental/Water Resources Engineering, while our Ph.D. program focuses exclusively on Civil Engineering. Prospective Architectural Engineering graduate students should apply through the Civil Engineering program.
The University of Texas at Austin's Building Energy and Environments initiative brings together more than 35 researchers (including faculty, staff, postdocs, and students) studying various aspects of built environments.
