The Ph.D. in Civil Engineering recognizes scholarly competence and the ability to carry out and report original research in a sub-discipline such as transportation, geotechnical, structural, materials or water resources engineering.
The field has long adapted to new technological needs. Classic public works like roads, bridges, water systems and building design remain important, and sustainable international development now forms part of the domain.
Graduates are prepared to work in universities, public agencies or industry, including firms that handle planning, design, research and development or regulation. Concentrations include Engineering for International Development, Structures and Materials. The catalog also covers accreditation and admission information. Prospective students should check the current graduate catalog for contacts, deadlines and delivery information, and confirm that the general graduate admission and English proficiency rules of the university are also satisfied before they apply to this major.
