The M.S. educates students in the theory and practice of civil engineering science and design at an advanced level with a technical concentration. The Master’s degree is increasingly expected for advanced practice in civil engineering, and prepares graduates to practice in civil engineering for: federal, state, or local government; engineering design firms; construction firms; public utilities; non-governmental organizations; and local and regional planning firms, among others. The M.S. serves as a foundation for subsequent study in a Ph.D. program in civil engineering, as well as for additional graduate studies in architecture, law, business, economics, finance, and public policy and administration.
