Graduate Program
The transportation
engineering graduate program aims at promoting transportation teaching
and research, addressing the increasingly significant transportation
problems today, and improving collaborations among departments within the
university and with other educational and research institutions in other
parts of the country.

General Requirement
- Master of Science Program
The Master of Science degree requires at least 30 semester hours of
credits including 6 hours of thesis. A minimum of 24 hours of coursework
is required in which no more than 6 credits are special topics courses.
At least 18 of the 24 coursework credits should be at the 500/600 level.
A full-time student should be able to complete the degree in 12 to 18
months.
The Doctor of Philosophy degree requires a minimum of 45 semester
credits of coursework. At least 36 credits of the coursework must be at
the 600/700 level in which a minimum of 24 credits must be taken from the
University of Akron. At least 6 credits of the
course work must be from outside of the Civil Engineering Department. The
duration for completing the doctoral program varies greatly with the
student’s technical background and productivity in coursework and
research. In general, a minimum of 3 years are needed for effective
individuals.
