Master of Science [MS] (Civil Engineering)
STEM Course
2 years
Full Time
On Campus
Field of Study:
$34,734 /Yr
- The Master of Engineering degree combines advanced training in civil engineering practice and design and an emphasis on written and oral communication skills. As a practice-oriented program, it will provide students with the technical expertise and management training to be successful design engineers.
- The program is designed for students who work full-time, and some of the classes will be offered on-line to accommodate students who cannot come to UNM main campus. Graduates of the program should have no shortage of job opportunities, as the demand for professional engineers exceeds the supply.
- The Civil Engineering Department collaborated closely with professionals in local engineering companies and the national labs to develop the program. Brian Burnett, president of Albuquerque-based civil engineering firm Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI), is also president of the Civil Engineering Department Advisory Board. Many companies want a higher level of education than a Bachelor degree, says Burnett. UNM Master of Engineering degree program will create more highly-qualified employees and reduce on-the-job training, says Burnett.
- A Master of Engineering degree recipient could later pursue enrollment in a Ph.D. program if a sufficient number of theory and research classes were taken prior to admission to Ph.D. candidacy, and reasonable scores on the GRE were obtained.
- Focus areas available are:
- Construction Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Water Resources-Hydraulics Engineering
- Structural Engineering and Materials Science
- Transportation Engineering
