Prepare to attend graduate school or improve your knowledge of civil and environmental engineering to join the workforce. At Tufts, we provide the opportunity for academically talented, highly motivated adult students, with at least a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree (BS or BA) in any discipline with the appropriate mathematics and science background, to pursue the discipline.

Program Highlights

This flexible, four-course graduate-level program will update your skills and broaden your knowledge in Civil and Environmental Engineering, through a "design your own specialty certificate" taught by Tufts' renowned faculty.

The program allows students to cluster course electives around a particular interest or specialty area. Courses may be chosen from our regular department offerings or related fields. The Civil and Environmental Engineering certificate can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis.

Courses numbered above 100 award graduate credit, and are transferable into the Tufts Master of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering program.

Career Outcomes

Civil and Environmental engineers use their training to help society anticipate and respond to the emerging challenges of our changing world by focusing on natural and built systems, and by working at the intersection of infrastructure, the environment, and people.

The concentrated and rigorous certificate program is particularly well-suited for individuals preparing to re-enter the workforce, mid-level professionals looking to move into the field of civil and environmental engineering or those preparing for graduate school. Accepted students are required to develop an individualized plan of study with their academic advisors, based on their academic history and professional goals.
