Graduate Programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Engineering (M.E.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees are offered. The graduate academic subdisciplines include agricultural water management, construction engineering and management (Ph.D. only), environmental engineering, geoengineering, hydraulic engineering and fluid mechanics, hydrologic science and engineering, structural engineering and mechanics, water and international development, and water resources planning and management.

A practice-oriented, course-work only, Master of Engineering (M.E.) degree program is available to students with a baccalaureate degree in engineering. Individuals with undergraduate degrees in some science programs also are eligible for the M.E., but typically are required to complete background engineering courses at the undergraduate level in addition to the required courses for their graduate degree. Master of Engineering tracks are offered in civil infrastructure engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, irrigation engineering, structural engineering, and water resources engineering.

Students interested in graduate work should refer to the Graduate and Professional Bulletin or the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
