Graduate Certificates
Why a certificate?
The Graduate Certificate in Pavement Analysis and Design and Graduate Certificate in Pavement Materials, offered through the Department of Civil Engineering, are available to both degree and non-degree-seeking students. These programs are perfect for those interested in continuing their education but not yet ready to commit to a full master's degree. Graduates of the program will have advanced knowledge in asphalt materials, pavement evaluation, design, and construction.
