PhD in Civil Engineering

Civil and environmental engineering here grants both a master's and a doctorate through its engineering college. Students pick one of eight areas of study and then work with faculty who are leaders in that area. The department's graduate offerings sit alongside related programs in nuclear engineering and an entirely online construction engineering master's degree. Research connects with government agencies, non-profits, and private partners so that findings can be applied in practice. Incoming doctoral students may be nominated by their department chair for college-level fellowships, which are awarded without a separate application and include a tuition waiver. Prospective students should consult the department's own pages for current application steps, faculty contacts, and funding details before applying. Contact information for advisors is listed there as well.
