Overview

At CU Denver, we offer two options within the Civil Engineering programme from University of Colorado Denver : 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.

Key Facts

Students must hold an earned master's degree before they can be admitted to a doctoral programme in the Department of Civil Engineering; there is no direct admission from a bachelor's programme to the doctoral programme. However, a student enrolled in a master's programme may apply for the doctoral programme before the master's degree is granted, as long as the master's degree is conferred before they enroll as a doctoral student at CU Denver.
