MA/MS in Civil Engineering

This research-oriented graduate degree gives students deep expertise in one area of civil engineering, working closely with faculty. It can be completed through a thesis-based or project-based plan. Core tracks are environmental and water resources, geotechnical, structural and transportation systems, with laboratory facilities for student use. The program is housed in the Duluth campus science and engineering college. Students can read about degree requirements, career information and related majors from the program listing. As a University of Minnesota offering, the course of study draws on faculty expertise and campus facilities. Students plan their schedules with an advisor, balance required courses with electives, and can often add related minors, so preparation can be tailored toward a chosen career direction.
