The Richard A. Rula School of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis option) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Major areas of study include structures, geotechnical, water resources, transportation, construction materials and environmental engineering.

An advanced degree in civil and environmental engineering can lead to career advancements for civil engineers, design engineers or civil/structural engineers.

Do you like to work outdoors as well as indoors? Do you excel at subjects like science and mathematics? Do you have a passion for building things or for taking things apart and putting them back together? Civil engineers are responsible for maintaining, repairing and upgrading infrastructure, so they are involved with engineering projects in a unique and ongoing way even after construction is complete. A graduate degree is for those who want to learn more and provide leadership in their workplace.

Applications for the off-campus M.S. degree program may be considered for review up to two months after these deadlines upon request by the applicant. Admission requires that the applicant be accepted by a faculty member in their sub‐discipline area who is willing to serve as their major professor. Applicants are encouraged contact appropriate faculty after completion of the application.

Note - These deadlines differ from university published deadlines and are specific to the CEE department to provide timely feedback on application status and appropriate resource allocation.

An applicant for admission to graduate study must hold a bachelor's degree from a fully recognized four-year educational institution that has unconditional accreditation with appropriate regional accrediting agencies. They must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate School and the Civil Engineering program.

Regular admission to graduate study in the program requires a minimum grade point average (last four semesters of undergraduate work) of 3.00/4.00. When a student is deficient in one of the criteria cited, the student's application, nevertheless, may be considered for admission based on the strength of other materials contained in the student's application.

Bagley College of Engineering programs may accept transfer work previously completed by the student. Transcript reviews to determine transfer or prerequisite work will be evaluated AFTER students are granted full admission. Once admitted an academic coordinator can review those transcripts for more information.

To meet admission requirements, submit a separate official final transcript from each college or university attended; faxed transcripts will not be accepted. An applicant may not ignore previous college attendance and must list all colleges attended on the application for admission. You must be in good standing at the last college or university attended

Online Grad Pursues Passion for Statistics

Written by Helen Velk.

Former Southeast Raleigh High School math teacher and NC State alumnus David Grant decided that the fall of 2023 was the time to actively begin the process of aligning his career with his passion. When he discovered that the Applied Statistics and Data Management Graduate Certificate Program offered by NC State Online was a perfect fit, he immediately enrolled in the program and will graduate in May of 2024.

Although the program is offered online, Grant felt a strong sense of connection to his peers and his instructors.

“It honestly did not feel like an online program to me — it felt more like a hybrid program because we watched lectures and took advantage of plenty of synchronous tutoring,” Grant said. “The tutoring sessions were offered during the late evening hours, after normal working hours, and they were extremely helpful for me.”

In addition to the convenient and effective format of this program, Grant also found the course content to be appealing and applicable.

“The best part was that the projects were designed based on realistic scenarios,” Grant said. “We had to practice many skills that would be useful in a full-time job. For example, knowing how to handle data that may not be nicely formatted. That’s a great skill that I mastered and I would be very comfortable with a similar task as part of my job responsibilities.”

Grant expressed appreciation for the support and guidance of his advisor and instructors.

“All four of my professors — Associate Professor Xinge (Jessie) Jeng , Associate Teaching Professor Jonathan Duggins , Director/Distinguished Professor Fred Wright , and Director/Associate Teaching Professor Justin Post — were very supportive throughout my time in the program,” Grant said. “Particularly Dr. Duggins and Dr. Post, who taught the programming classes. Those were the classes in which I struggled. They both took extra time to support me when I needed help. And of course, my advisor, Online Program Coordinator Donna Barton , who helped guide me on the right path as to what classes would be the best for me along the way.”

Advice and Future Plans

With his newly acquired skill set, Grant is currently searching for a statistics and data management job. He feels this program prepared him well for a new role and is excited to see what the future holds.

While it wasn’t always easy to manage a full-time job and the classwork, he highly recommends this certification.

“If you find a program you will enjoy and want to pursue, then go for it!” Grant said. “It was difficult — for sure — to get everything done. I had to resort to doing most of the assignments on the weekends. Particularly when I was teaching and had four different classes to prepare for.”

Grant plans to pursue a master’s degree in the future and feels this certificate will provide a solid foundation towards that goal. He does not plan to attend the in-person commencement ceremony, but says he will “most certainly” be celebrating this accomplishment with his family and friends!
