A graduate degree from UC Berkeley indicates a strong background and fundamental knowledge of civil and environmental engineering, assuring our graduates can successfully compete with the best in the profession. Time and time again, our graduates tell us their Berkeley degrees have opened doors to fulfilling careers in the engineering industry, research, academia, and government, applying engineering methods in a broader social context. 

CEE is widely acknowledged for conducting cutting-edge research and helping shape the evolving civil and environmental engineering domain. US News & World Report has ranked CEE's Civil & Environmental Engineering graduate program and its Environmental Engineering program among the top two graduate majors nationwide every year.

We welcome your interest in our department and hope to receive an application for admission. 

The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering offers several Graduate degree programs.

[*] As of Fall 2024, the Engineering and Project Management Program (E&PM) is no longer taking applications for admission as we are transitioning this program to a new one called Construction Systems. We recommend that applicants interested in this area of specialization consider applying for admission to the Construction Systems Program (COS) or alternatively to the Energy, Civil Infrastructure, and Climate Program (ECIC)
