Master of Science in Civil Engineering

Today's populations are growing at exponential rates. The pace strains the built environment, with our shared civic infrastructure our bridges, dams, airports, and highways, among other resources nearing capacity levels. Civil engineers respond to the issue by improving existing systems and designing projects that answer the new challenges raised by modern society. Our MS program in Civil Engineering trains you to join their ranks. You can specialize in any of the following concentrations: construction management and engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental and water resource engineering, urban infrastructure systems, highway and traffic engineering Our program is flexible, and you may elect for a more general course of study by taking 2 courses in 3 areas of concentration.

Admission to this program requires you to hold a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). You also need to have a 3.0 GPA or better.

Applicants lacking a BS from an ABET-accredited program in civil engineering (including those possessing undergraduate degrees in other engineering disciplines, engineering science, engineering technology and architecture, or from a foreign university) will have their qualifications reviewed by a graduate adviser.

The NYU Tandon School of Engineering requires that graduate applicants achieve a minimum TOEFL score of 90 on the internet-based test, an overall band of 7.0 on IELTS, a 65 on the Pearson PTE Academics exam, or a C1 on the Cambridge English: Advanced exam.
