4+1 Master of Science in Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is the discipline that consists of the design, construction, and maintenance of constructed and natural infrastructure. Civil engineers apply their knowledge of mathematics and physical sciences to develop ways to efficiently utilize natural resources and the forces of nature to improve the well-being of humanity and to protect the environment. 

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is involved in a wide range of research activities organized around four main areas: environmental and water resources engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. 

We offer an undergraduate bachelor of science in civil engineering degree program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, master’s and PhD programs in civil engineering, and a master’s degree in environmental engineering. Because civil engineers are involved in such wide-ranging projects, the department also supports interdisciplinary programs that provide undergraduate civil engineering students a variety of opportunities.
