I graduated from civil engineering. I’m taking a gap year and considering which major should i go for master degree. My GPA is 2.95. I did great at highway and soil mechanic. Which university/major would you recommend?
I’d recommend finding a job for a bit, because that GPA will be problematic.
It won’t be a top program, but I would think he could find a masters degree program somewhere (not research based/thesis).
Is a Masters of Science in Civil Engineering with a concentration in construction management still considered as a civil engineering degree?
My daughter has a civil engineering degree and also concentrated in transportation. One of her professors was trying to get her to stay in school and get a masters (hmm, he didn’t offer to PAY for it!), but she got a job and has been very happy with her decision. I think she may take courses toward a masters starting next year, but her employer should pay for some of it.
Her boyfriend was in construction management. He did stay for a masters, but got an MBA. He did one year on campus as a full time student but the second year he did as a part time student and full time worker.
There are a lot of ways to get there.
Thanks for you feedback of course I believe that there are a lot of ways to get there with no doubt. But employers and some college professor are well known to write people off and not look at qualification. Like for example you have a biology degree then get a masters degree in civil engineering with concentration in construction management. They are not going to consider you for a civil engineering position. Because your concentration is easier.
I don’t think it’s possible to get a master’s degree in civil engineering if you have an undergraduate degree in biology.
Why not? You can get a masters degree in civil engineering with a Environmental/Water Resources concentration that is biology related.
I am wondering if the courses in the construction management concentration of the master’s degree in civil engineer are considered to be engineering courses, in general?
@IncorE206 Your concentration should match the field you want to get into. If its construction management, then take courses in construction management.
Yes, most definitely but I am just evaluating something that is why I am asking.
it really depends on the course then. I took a construction law course and a dispute resolution course; neither of those would be considered an engineering course, although both were offered through the civil engineering department (law class in conjunction with the law school).
