The program is open to excellent students who:

  • Are admitted into our PhD program in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
  • Are a citizen or permanent resident of the United States.
  • Can demonstrate financial need.
  • Are planning a career in teaching and/or research.

Women, underrepresented minorities, veterans, and individuals identifying with historically underserved groups (first generation college students, socio-economically disadvantaged, differently-abled, LGBTQ, etc.) applicants are particularly encouraged.


Although students with prior engineering Master’s degrees are preferred, exceptional candidates without a Master’s will be considered.
