MA/MS in Civil Engineering

The master's degree in civil engineering belongs to the civil engineering program of Fresno State's Civil and Geomatics Engineering Department, part of the Lyles College of Engineering. The department also grants an undergraduate degree in this field. According to the department, the discipline reaches from research and development to planning, design, construction and upkeep. It serves urban growth, buildings and bridges, transportation, and the systems that deliver and treat water, dispose of waste, and produce and transmit energy. Practitioners analyze and design large systems like roads, ports, dams, pipelines and buildings, always mindful of public safety during hazards such as earthquakes. Interested people are welcome to email or call the program and to set up a meeting during a campus visit. The page also draws attention to earthquake research that uses shake table simulations.
