Are you interested in the flexibility of learning online at your convenience? Consider our two online graduate programs under the Civil & Environmental Engineering department, a master’s in construction project management online or master’s in environmental engineering online. Whether you prefer the in-person interaction that an on campus master’s in construction management provides or like the flexibility of studying online, you’ll learn how to manage complex construction projects at every stage. Dive into advanced project management, building information modeling, sustainable construction practices, and more as you conduct groundbreaking research. Do you have an interest in protecting public health and our environment? A master’s in environmental engineering covers effective solutions to solve issues related to human health, water quality, sustainability, and even resource preservation. All of our civil engineering master’s programs are offered on campus and online, providing students the same rigorous, yet practical curriculum by our expert faculty.

Are you interested in gaining graduate-level knowledge in a specialized civil field that most interests you? If you have a passion for managing construction project at every stage and learning about sustainable practices, explore our construction project management graduate certificate online. Maybe you enjoy learning in-person? Our graduate certificate in construction project management is also offered on campus, with the same rigorous curriculum as online. If you’re intrigued by working toward making the world’s water safe and more sustainable, consider a graduate certificate in water quality systems. You’ll work closely with an advisor to choose five classes related to advanced water-quality topics. Are you interested in exploring hazardous contaminants and spearheading sustainability, a graduate certificate in water resources may be for you.

If you’re already working in the industry and looking for a degree that will boost your skills and advance your career, WPI’s MEng in Civil Engineering might be just what you’re looking for. This degree offers two concentrations so you’re sure to align your educational path with your career path. Choose from a Master Builder concentration, designed for engineering and construction professionals who want to become more effective team leaders, or an Environmental concentration, which focuses on water resources, pollution prevention, and municipal and industrial treatment processes. You’ll gain hands-on knowledge that you can bring to your work as you earn your degree.

Are you excited by the possibilities of making the world a better place through improving and protecting the earth’s climate, air, and water? A career as a civil and environmental engineer has many specialties and finding the right bachelor’s degree so you can fulfill your dreams is important. Our hands-on project-based curriculum means that when you graduate with a bachelor’s from WPI you have applicable and sought-after experience to jump into engineering work. WPI’s bachelor’s in civil engineering immerses you in the all the ways you can protect the earth, practice complex construction practices, or improve the infrastructure that helps move people and goods around the planet. If your interests lean more toward sustainable building and design, our bachelor’s in architectural engineering brings engineering principles to design. You’ll focus on four areas to give you a foundation for a career as an architectural engineer including structural systems, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and construction/construction management. If your career goals focus on environmental interests such as safe water supplies or mitigating and reducing the impact of industrial waste, explore WPI’s bachelor’s in environmental engineering. This degree program blends civil engineering and chemical engineering courses for a program that advances your understanding in both areas so you can apply that knowledge to the complex environmental issues in the world.
