Prospective Graduate Students

Bruce McEnroe

The Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering offers a variety of graduate degree programs to meet your needs. We offer master's and doctoral degree programs for full-time students on the Lawrence campus, and master's degree programs in the evenings for part-time students in the Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka areas. Our graduate degree programs in Construction Management and Environmental Science do not require bachelor's degrees in engineering.

As a full-time graduate student on the Lawrence campus, you can:

  • Participate in innovative research as a team member
  • Receive generous financial assistance
  • Enjoy life in Lawrence.

As a part-time graduate student in one of our evening programs, you can:

  • Earn your master's degree while continuing full-time employment
  • Take civil engineering graduate courses at Edwards Campus in Overland Park
  • Take construction management graduate courses in the evening in Lawrence.

Missouri residents in the Kansas City area receive special KC Metro tuition rates at KU Edwards Campus.

Degree options

Graduate students in the department have many programs and degree options from which to choose including those that are research intensive and those that are less so...

Research-based master of science degree programs are offered in:

  • civil engineering,
  • architectural engineering,
  • environmental engineering,
  • environmental science, and
  • water resources science.

Ph.D. programs lead to the doctor of philosophy in:

  • civil engineering,
  • environmental engineering and environmental science.

The department also offers three graduate programs that are not as research-intensive:

  • The master of construction management (M.C.M.), on the Lawrence Campus, requires coursework and a project report.
  • The master of civil engineering (M.C.E.) degree is offered primarily through evening courses at the KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park.
  • A doctor of engineering (D.E.) degree is available in civil engineering on the Lawrence Campus. Students in these programs often maintain their full- or part-time employment.

You can learn more about our graduate programs, faculty, research and financial aid by perusing this site and the Graduate Catalog. We also are happy to visit with you individually and assist you in planning your graduate studies.
