About the MS Programs at UIC
UIC offers three master’s of science programs designed to prepare you for careers in creating, managing, and improving the built world around us.
Civil Engineering
Civil engineering encompasses structural engineering and mechanics, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and more. Our degree program helps to define your knowledge and skills in the area that is most relevant to you. In this program, you can either combine your coursework with a master’s thesis research project or complete your entire MS degree through coursework.
Materials Engineering
Materials — including metals, intermetallics, polymers, ceramics, composites, and electronic materials — are critical to modern industrial society. Our MS program develops your expertise in the design, manufacture, and characterization of materials for specific applications. In this program, you can either combine your coursework with a master’s thesis research project or complete your entire MS degree through coursework.
Construction Engineering and Management
To meet the growing demand in the field for highly skilled construction engineering managers, UIC launched this new master’s degree program—the only one of its kind at a public university in the greater Chicago area. Students learn about a wide range of topics, including construction regulations, quality control, professional ethics, risk management, project planning, and environmental sustainability.
