MA/MS in Civil Engineering

Graduate students can earn an M.S. in civil and environmental engineering through a thesis track taught on campus at Colorado School of Mines. Students deepen their expertise by choosing one of several emphasis areas and completing a research thesis. Graduate study touches geotechnical engineering, infrastructure and environmental systems, modeling and design, with courses chosen to match each student's interests. Teaching stays applied, with coursework tied to real engineering problems and led by faculty who are active in the field. The degree is aimed at engineers who want greater technical depth, and it prepares graduates for advanced roles in industry or government or for continued study toward a doctorate. Spring 2027 applicants face separate deadlines for international and domestic students. Prospective students can request information, schedule a visit or begin an application from the program page.
