ENGINEERING GRADUATE PROGRAMS

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Train with internationally renowned, award-winning faculty with expertise ranging from traditional civil engineering and related practices to the application of the latest state-of-the-art technologies. Alumni gain access to one of the most robust job markets in the United States.

MS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Design and improve infrastructure through modern technology with a focus on smart infrastructure and materials. Students create their own path with a choice of six concentrations: construction management; structural engineering; geotechnical engineering; environmental engineering and water resources; urban systems; and highway and transportation engineering.

MS IN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Become a leader in the management of construction projects and organizations. Learn the most current professional construction practices and applications. Explore cutting-edge research in AI and robotics for design and construction. Graduates succeed with public agencies and private owners, developers, construction managers, designers, and constructors.

MS IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

Focus on sustainable use of natural resources through design and operation of engineered systems using an in-depth understanding of environmental chemistry, microbiology, and hydrology, as well as pollution prevention and treatment. Graduates work in both private and public sectors in fields such as environmental assessment, remediation design, and sustainable development.

MS IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Engage in the multidisciplinary area of preserving and protecting the environment through an in-depth understanding of environmental interactions. Graduates enter fields such as environmental sustainability, urban development, and natural resource management.

MS IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Design state-of-the-art transportation systems with a focus on connected cities and smart mobility technology. Graduates gain access to career opportunities in New York City, where an increasing number of transportation engineers is required to tackle the one-of-a-kind challenges that accompany the transit systems designed to accommodate the city’s growing population, including airports and seaports.

PHD IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Conduct original investigations demonstrating creativity and scholarship. Candidates focus on one of six civil engineering subdisciplines: structural materials; geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering; environmental and water resources; construction management; transportation engineering; and urban infrastructure systems engineering and management.

PHD IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Advance the state of the art in urban transportation systems. Graduates of this program have successfully pursued careers in academia and technical leadership in government and industry around the world. They’ve led the charge on topics such as connected and autonomous vehicle operations, Mobility-as-a-Service, and the Internet of Things, as well as their socio-technical impacts.

PHD IN URBAN SYSTEMS

Drawing from the expertise of faculty across NYU schools and global campuses, we offer an inclusive and globally impactful interdisciplinary research and educational program designed to address critical urban needs. This program is available to students with diverse backgrounds including engineering and environmental science, architecture and urban planning, computing and data science, economics and public policy, and social sciences and public health.

TRANSFORM OUR URBAN ENVIRONMENTS
