MA/MS in Systems Engineering

The Urban Infrastructure Systems master's degree sits in the Civil, Urban, and Environmental Engineering Department at NYU Tandon. It looks at the networks that keep cities running, including transport, energy, water, sanitation, buildings and communications. Students study how these networks are planned, upgraded and kept resilient as urban populations grow. The curriculum treats the subject as more than a technical problem, covering public policy aims, land use, regulation, economics and the many public and private groups involved. The program suits engineers and planners who want to guide the long-term development of city systems, often through technology-driven solutions, with attention to reliability, safety and affordability.
