<p>Anyone know of Transportation graduate programs that are pretty flexible on admissions as far as undergrad courses are concerned? I have math, physics background, no engineering background. At a minimum, it seems I would have to take four courses. I'd rather just jump right in. I'm just seeing if there's something I missed outside my search.</p>
<p>Depending on where your interest within transportation lies, you may be able to find an urban planning program that fits your requirements. Just something to consider if you don’t find what you want in an engineering program.</p>
<p>I know Kansas State has an online program, don’t know how strict their admissions are, check it out</p>
<p>Thanks. I’ll check it out.</p>
<p>Also, do you typically need a PE for transportation engineering? I wonder if I might prefer to do consulting rather than do full-time design work.</p>
<p>Being a PE can be very helpful in moving up the ranks in transportation engineering. When I worked for such a firm, most of the engineers were a PE or were on course to become a PE. There’s also the PTOE (Professional Traffic Operations Engineer), but it has less importance in my opinion. However, we also had transportation planners with the company who did related work (not quite as technical) and they were not PE’s. </p>
<p>What form of consulting are you referring to?</p>
