Master of Civil Engineering
Master of Science in Civil Engineering
Civil engineering has a long and notable history. Civil engineers have been responsible for great feats such as the Hoover Dam, Panama Canal, and the Statue of Liberty. Civil engineers design, construct, and maintain the very framework on which society depends - roads, bridges, waterways, dams, and harbors. They are involved in homeland security, safety, land and infrastructure development, risk assessment, private and public environmental systems, structural design and assessment, and waste management systems.
A Master of Construction Engineering Management is also available through the Civil Engineering Department (in collaboration with the College of Management).
As the nation's infrastructure ages and the demand for green technology increases, the role of the civil engineer remains crucial. From the roads and bridges that connect us to the buildings that
shape our horizons, the future of civil engineering will require not only finding new and innovative solutions to age-old problems, but also a commitment to creating a more sustainable world.
Furthering your studies in civil engineering can be critical to your advancement and success in the field. Lawrence Technological University's comprehensive master's programs in civil engineering are designed to provide you with a broad, high-quality, and contemporary educational experience. The programs, which focus on fundamental engineering theories while implementing new technologies, allow you to gain the skills needed to become a master at solving complex, real-life engineering problems.
Whether you choose to pursue the Master of Science in Civil Engineering, which requires 30 credit hours, or the 33-credit Master of Civil Engineering, you will be exposed to Lawrence Tech's signature "theory and practice" approach to learning, offering you both technical and practical expertise. The MS in Civil Engineering includes a three-credit graduate project or a six-credit thesis project, while the Master of Civil Engineering is based entirely on course work. Both degrees provide you a thorough understanding of the design process, while preparing you to approach complex problem solving from a multidisciplinary perspective.
"Our experience with Lawrence Tech grads has been excellent. They are extremely well prepared, energetic, and professional - really top notch."
