The School of Engineering offers a PhD in Engineering with a concentration in Civil Engineering.  It requires a minimum of 48 credits of course work.  Generally an M.S. degree completed at another university counts for a maximum of 30 credits of course work.  At least 24 credits must be taken at UNM and at least 18 credits must be completed after admission to the PhD program in Civil Engineering.  In addition, 18 credits must be earned at UNM in courses numbered 500 or above.  PhD students must complete the M.S. core course requirements established in their area of specialty.

The areas of specialty are: 
Construction Engineering and Management
