Master of Science in Civil Engineering - Transportation (MSCE)

Sponsored by the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science

The MSCE in transportation integrates theory and applied analytical methods of transportation systems, public transit planning, traffic engineering, and environmental, urban, and regional development. This is a research-oriented program, requiring three quarters of course work and a three to six month research period resulting in a thesis. After graduating, many students in the MSCE program enter research or consulting fields or pursue doctoral degrees.

Ph.D. in Civil Engineering

The Ph.D. IN CIVIL ENGINEERING with a specialty in transportation is a natural continuation for MSCE students who plan to work in academia or in advanced research and technical studies in industry and consulting.

Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering

Sponsored by: Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science

The Ph.D. program in Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences department  is suited for students interested in the development of theoretical and practical tools for solving problems in industry and government.  Students enrolled in this program develop research strategies and tools used in  scheduling, planning, distribution, design, location, and control. Application areas range from traditional uses of industrial engineering in manufacturing firms to the broader variety of management science models in the service sector, finance, and public policy, including supply-chain management and logistics.
