DURHAM, NC, January 19, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Best Master’s Programs (https://www.bestmastersprograms.org/), an online guide to the best masters and careers, is pleased to share its 25 best online master’s degrees in Civil Engineering for 2021 in https://www.bestmastersprograms.org/best-online-civil-engineering-masters/
Ever since human beings began to come together to build villages, irrigate fields and dispose of their waste, civil engineering has been instrumental in civilization. Today, in an age of crumbling infrastructure and perpetual development, civil engineers are more needed and more in demand than ever. Many civil engineering professionals start their careers with a bachelor’s degree, but the need for more advanced knowledge and managerial leadership means that many will work to obtain a master’s degree. But putting a rewarding career on hold to return to school for two or more years is too much for most working professionals. Fortunately, universities and colleges across America have seen the demand and developed master’s programs in civil engineering entirely online or hybrid. For these students, the Best Master’s Programs ranked the 25 Best Online Masters in Civil Engineering.
The BMP classification of the best Master’s programs in Civil Engineering aims to help professionals in activity to find a program with a real return on investment and career impact. The Best Master’s Programs used three criteria to determine classification:
- Registration fee (IPEDS data)
- Potential salary (College Scorecard data)
- Student satisfaction (niche student comments)
The top 3 online Master of Science in Civil Engineering programs for 2021 are: (1) Columbia University, (two) Missouri University Science and Technology, and (3) Washington University. BMP congratulates the top 3, as well as all the top 25.
The complete list, in alphabetical order, can be found at the end of this release.
As the BMP editors explain, “Taking an online master’s degree in Civil Engineering offers a variety of benefits to students who need to maintain a full-time job while attending school.” “The flexible schedule of an online degree program offers the opportunity to study when you have more time”, as the editors explain; “You can do your homework from anywhere. You can concentrate on your studies instead of worrying about how you’re going to pay your bills. You don’t have to deal with the stress of driving either and on campus.” Unlike a traditional degree program, “Being able to work from home allows them to study in an environment that is comfortable for them. They can be relaxed and have everything they need close by. There are fewer distractions and the student is in control of their environment. “Working professionals benefit from the ability to complete work on their own schedule.
Fully accredited online civil engineering programs are increasingly easy to find. As the editors explain, “Many schools offer an ABET-accredited online civil engineering degree that students can use when trying to build a career.” The benefits of an accredited master’s degree are clear, they explain; “For an online course to be part of an accredited degree program, it must pass the same strict standards and guidelines as other degree programs do.” Online programs make all the difference for adults who already work in the field.
