The Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Department's graduate program has a global reputation for shaping students into leaders across engineering practice, research, and academia. We encourage ambitious, 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 systems, and energy requirements necessitate engineers with both specialized expertise and broad perspectives. CAEE equips students with comprehensive education and collaborative skills to pioneer tomorrow's sustainable technologies and innovative solutions. Our approach combines foundational theory with practical application through diverse teaching and research initiatives.
Graduate students can engage with numerous research centers, fostering an intellectually vibrant community while pursuing their academic interests. Featuring cutting-edge facilities, our program prepares engineers to lead in various sectors 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.
Environmental and water resources engineering encompasses diverse specialties addressing ecological concerns in air, water, and land systems. This multidisciplinary field incorporates areas like water quality management, hydrology, air pollution control, coastal engineering, and waste remediation, all integrated with sustainable engineering principles that consider environmental, economic, and societal impacts.
