Transportation Engineering
Students interested in the Transportation Engineering areas can pursue either:
  • Master of Science in Civil Engineering
    Normally for students with an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering
  • Master of Science in Transportation Engineering
    Normally for students with an undergraduate degree in basic or applied sciences or in other branches of engineering.

A graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Engineering is offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This departmental evening graduate program provides practicing professionals an opportunity to pursue advanced study on either a part-time or full-time basis. Maintaining a balance between theory and application, stressing modern engineering methods for the solution of detailed and complex problems, and emphasizing the concepts of analysis and design coupled with engineering judgment are all integral to the nature of this program.

The MSTE program offers study and research in the field of transportation and in the related areas of planning, management, environmental studies and other civil engineering disciplines. A student in this program who has BSCE degree or its equivalent would typically pursue a MSCE degree. A student with a baccalaureate degree in a related academic field is eligible to pursue the MSTE degree provided that he/she can provide evidence of proficiency in the subjects noted in Department Admission and Degree Requirements. A student with a BSCE can choose either the MSCE or MSTE.
