Graduate Certificate Programs
Advance your knowledge of pavement engineering through focused graduate-level study in pavement analysis, design and materials.
Why a Certificate?
The Graduate Certificate in Pavement Analysis and Design and Graduate Certificate in Pavement Materials, offered through the Department of Civil Engineering, are available to both degree- and non-degree-seeking students. These programs are designed for professionals interested in continuing their education without immediately committing to a full master's degree. Graduates gain advanced knowledge in asphalt materials, pavement evaluation, design and construction.
Eligibility
You are eligible to apply if you hold a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, or an equivalent field, from an institution of recognized standing. A GPA of 3.0/4.0 or higher in the last 60 semester hours is required, although exceptions may be made for applicants with significant professional experience.
