Students can earn B.S., M.S., M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering in the Transportation Engineering Division of emphasis.
The Master of Science (M.S.) program is 32 hours, the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program is 30 hours, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program is 64 hours. The specific course requirements are decided by the student in conjunction with the student’s committee chair and graduate committee.
The transportation group focuses on such areas as traffic flow, signal timing, transportation planning, and geometric design. The following information is designed to answer your transportation engineering-specific questions regarding the admission process, financial aid, and degree options. For additional details on these topics, please visit our Graduate Program page.
Admission decisions are typically made within three weeks of the transportation group receiving the application. However, it sometimes takes longer than five weeks for the application to reach us once the university receives it – therefore we ask for your patience when applying and to try and get your application in early.
Because there are many factors that go into admission decisions, and not simply GRE scores and grade point average, it is the policy of the transportation group not to comment on admittance possibilities and/or financial support until an applicant has applied to the program and all their documentation is complete.
Financial aid decisions are dependent on the amount of research funding available. Over the past five years well over ninety-five percent of our graduate students have received some type of financial support. While this high level of support has been maintained over the last five years there is no guarantee that this will continue into the future.
Research projects are selected based on the interests of the student after consultation with the Principal Investigator of the project. If you have interest in working with a particular faculty member on a particular project please contact the faculty member directly.
