The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering stands as a global pioneer in multiple disciplines, particularly in Risk and Reliability Engineering along with Nuclear Waste Management. Students pursuing M.S., M.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees participate in thesis or dissertation projects aligned with the department's active research fields, gaining chances to collaborate with our distinguished faculty members.
For graduate studies, the department trains future innovators in infrastructure and environmental engineering, focusing on reliability and risk management applications. These areas encompass engineering design, uncertainty assessment, construction and maintenance, life-cycle and cost-benefit evaluations, data management, and core principles essential for advancing infrastructure and environmental systems.
Qualified applicants with bachelor’s or comparable non-U.S. degrees are eligible for admission to the Graduate School. Applications from international students with three-year bachelor’s degrees will also be considered.
The minimum acceptable score on the paper-based TOEFL is 570, and for the Internet-based test, 88. Many programs, however, require a considerably higher level of proficiency.
