Civil Engineering (Transportation Systems) (MS)

Sustainable Infrastructure Systems

The Sustainable Infrastructure Systems program prepares students for immediate and effective participation in the modern infrastructure workforce through a common core that includes smart-system design for sustainable infrastructures, the societal and regulatory context of infrastructure engineering decisions, and construction management. Four plans of study for the Master of Science degree allow for specialization based on background and interest.
