The Master of Science in Civil Engineering has both thesis and non-thesis options. Students interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in civil engineering may select engineering as a discipline when applying for admission into the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program.

To accommodate part-time and working students, most of the undergraduate classes are conducted in the afternoons and graduate classes are conducted in the evenings.

The civil engineering program has a rich history in Kansas City. The University of Kansas City offered a General Engineering degree in the 1950s. The master’s program in civil engineering was started in 1964 and later the undergraduate program was added in the early 1970s Since 1977, the undergraduate program in civil engineering has been independently accredited by ABET. The program became a part of the School of Computing and Engineering (SCE) in January 2001 and is housed in Flarsheim Hall.
