At CU Denver, we offer two options within the civil engineering PhD program: the doctor of philosophy in civil engineering is a technical degree intended for students with an undergraduate degree in engineering, and the doctor of philosophy in civil engineering systems is a more flexible degree intended for students with undergraduate degrees in other fields such as science, mathematics, or economics. This program is administered jointly with the University of Colorado Boulder.<br>The doctoral program in civil engineering systems has different rules than the four other traditional doctoral tracks in order to facilitate more interdisciplinary research. This doctoral track can be the degree that would follow a master of engineering.<br>At the CU Denver College of Engineering, Design and Computing, we focus on providing our students with a comprehensive engineering education at the undergraduate, graduate and professional level. Faculty conduct research that spans our five disciplines of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, bioengineering, and computer science and engineering. The college collaborates with industry from around the state, our laboratories and research opportunities give students the hands-on experience they need to excel in the professional world.<br>The graduate track in hydrologic, environmental, and sustainability engineering (HESE) in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver brings together the hydrologic cycle, environmental processes, and sustainabilitythe powerful notion that everything we engineer should support economic prosperity, environmental health, and social justice. We welcome students from across Colorado, throughout the United States, and around the world who seek to combine these elements. In particular, with our downtown Denver campus and many graduate courses scheduled in the evening, we are Colorado's best bet for working professionals in metropolitan Denver seeking top-notch engineering graduate education.
