Norwich University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

Master of Civil Engineering

The first private college in the USA to provide instruction in engineering, over 189 years of academic heritage, decades of servicing adult distance learners and the highest form of accreditation a university can receive provide a solid foundation for an online graduate program.

E-learning. The perfect fit.

It may surprise you, but our online virtual classrooms have better participation and academic discourse than most traditional classrooms. Students interact with their instructors and classmates on a regular basis.

The classroom is virtual. Your master’s degree is real.

The MCE program is designed for individuals who work on a full-time basis and who appreciate the advantages of applying what they learn in the classroom to their profession. The convenience and flexibility of online learning is well established. Study at home, at work or even at a nearby wireless caf�.

Knowledge and insight. On demand.

The Norwich University online library has one of the most comprehensive databases available in education today. This guarantees accessibility to research information.

Special features of the program

Many within the engineering profession acknowledge that today's undergraduate engineering education has its shortcomings. For a variety of reasons, students obtaining bachelor's degrees today are lacking in several key areas (technical and non-technical). Recently, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) assembled a team of industry and academic professionals who were charged with creating a long-term strategic plan that addresses these shortcomings. Their comprehensive report provided recommendations for improving civil engineering education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the 21st century.

During the development of the MCE program, NU utilized the findings of the ASCE report. As a result, the program provides a comprehensive examination of the technical side of engineering. The MCE program also addresses the administrative issues faced by today's engineers. Topics covered, therefore, range from how to perform a non-linear dynamic frame analysis to how to run a consulting office. We have combined the best of both worlds—a graduate degree in civil engineering and an MBA.

Design portfolio

Students must compile a portfolio that will contain copies of all of their design projects from the 6 seminars. It enables the student, faculty and Program Director to see at a glance the extensive growth the student has experienced through this rigorous program. The portfolio is presented to the faculty and program director during the residency week as the final requirement for your degree.
