Advanced Engineering Courses for Advanced Careers
NJIT’s online Master of Science in Civil Engineering program is designed for engineering professionals who want to update their technical competence, build project management skills, and become leaders in the field of civil engineering.
The curriculum focuses on modern needs in transportation, construction, and water management, as well as the advanced management tools to effectively lead projects in these areas. Courses also explore other relevant topics, such as: organizational behavior and project planning, plus the legal aspects and environmental impacts of engineering. The curriculum is enriched by advanced research programs in environmental engineering and science, building sciences and materials, and transportation.
Admission into this program requires an undergraduate degree in engineering or its equivalent. Students who lack an appropriate education background have an opportunity to make up courses through the Bridge Program. Please see Admission Requirements for more information on courses that will be needed.
Degree Requirements
A minimum of 30 credits, not including any bridge courses, is required. Candidates must consult with the graduate advisor (not thesis advisor) in designing appropriate programs of study.
Students must attain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the core courses listed below, and a minimum GPA of 3.0 overall.
Students can select for two areas of specialization in pursuit of their online Master of Science in Civil Engineering degree. Each specialization consists of a specialty core, general technical electives, and management/leadership electives. In consultation with their Enrollment Advisor, students will customize a course of study suited to their professional interests and career goals.
