Master of Science in Civil Engineering - Geotechnical, Geoenvironmental, Geosynthetics Engineering

A graduate degree from Drexel Engineering will prepare professionals for applying expanded skills practices in civil engineering. A civil engineering master’s degree will help professionals to prepare for tackling the work required of modern civil engineers. As a student you will address the continuing challenges placed on engineers relating to managing and retrofitting aging infrastructures, adopting new sustainable construction materials in constructed systems, designing, building and rendering the built environment resilient to climate change, addressing issues such as pollution, water and storm management and indoor and outdoor air quality.The MS in Civil Engineering degree will take two years to complete on a full-time basis or can be completed on a part- time basis in typically, 3-4 years.Take on challenges with building on, in, or with soil, the most abundant construction material available. These principles are applied to an array of infrastructure projects such as structural foundations, roadway embankments and in land development and water resource facilities, as well as topics like the effects of water content and pressure on soil behavior and construction feasibility.
