Civil and Environmental Master’s Degrees Merged at Penn State Harrisburg
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Penn State Harrisburg announces the merger of the Masters’ degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering into a single Master’s of Science in Civil Engineering with either a general or environmental focus area. This merged program builds on the strengths of the structural, transportation, and environmental/water resources undergraduate and graduate programs. The merged program details can be found at https://bulletins.psu.edu/graduate/programs/majors/civil-engineering-capital/#degreerequirementstext. All students will take core courses in related mathematics and in sustainable engineering. Students either complete a research thesis or a master’s capstone paper. Part-time students typically complete the program in 3-4 years. Full-time students complete the program in 1.5 – 2 years.
For students interested in the environmental/water resources option, the specific options requirements can be found at the bottom of website listed above with a focus on municipal water engineering, including hydraulic design, drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment.
