Graduate Studies

Producing engineers capable of identifying, preventing, and solving building, construction, and environmental problems is the objective of graduate education in the CEAE department.

When applying for graduate study in the CEAE department, students should identify the discipline or interdisciplinary program in which they would like to pursue a MS or PhD degree. The requirements for each of the programs may differ, so students are encouraged to consult the pages under the “disciplines” tab above.

The traditional disciplines in the CEAE department include:

  • Building Systems Engineering
  • Construction Engineering and Management
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Geotechnical Engineering and Geomechanics
  • Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics
  • Hydrology, Water Resources, and Environmental Fluid Mechanics

The interdisciplinary programs, which involve faculty from different disciplines in the CEAE department, include:

  • Civil Systems
  • Engineering for Developing Communities
  • Engineering Science
  • Geoenvironmental Engineering

Applicants interested in urban planning or transportation should contact the University of Colorado at Denver.

Campus facilities, including an earthquake simulator, a collection of geotechnical centrifuges, state-of-the-art geotechnical, environmental, building systems, hydraulics, and structural materials laboratories, permit a case-study approach to education which exposes graduate students to real-world problems through experimentation, testing, and analysis.

The links on this page are general to all graduate studies in the CEAE department. Please see the links to the disciplines and interdisciplinary programs under the “Disciplines” tab above.
