Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering at The University of Utah

In this rapidly changing and increasingly competitive technological world, graduate degrees are highly desirable and most often master’s degrees are required to hold higher-level professional civil engineering positions in the industry, and in federal, state and municipal government agencies. The department’s graduate programs are designed to educate the technological leaders of the future in civil engineering, and are structured to accommodate both full-time and part-time students. The specialty areas include coastal, geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water resources engineering in civil engineering. A distance learning master’s degree program in civil engineering with coastal engineering concentration is also available, and can include transferable credits from other institutions.

Civil engineers design, build and operate the physical infrastructure that we often take for granted; from bridges and buildings to water treatment and waste management systems.

Civil engineering involves:

• applying your physics and mathematics knowledge
• using engineering and computing tools in a creative and sustainable way

This programme will train you to be a civil engineer of the future, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to shape our ever-changing world.

You will have the opportunity to specialise in many technical streams including:

• structural, environmental and construction management
• geotechnical
• fire safety engineering

We put a strong emphasis on engineering design throughout this degree programme.
