Civil Engineering Program Overview
Civil Engineering online program ranked #4 by U.S. News & World Report
Civil engineering is the world’s oldest engineering discipline. Yet increasing public demands on structures and systems and changes in society’s economic and environmental attitudes mean that today’s civil engineer needs to constantly adapt in order to keep up. Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals top-ranked, online Master’s in Civil Engineering program provides graduate instruction in the fields of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, ocean and coastal engineering, and preservation engineering. No matter your industry, you’ll master the topics and industry developments you need to be at the top of your field.
Designed specifically for working professionals, this part-time, online civil engineering master’s features practice-oriented courses in small classes taught by industry experts. These experts and educators create engaging learning opportunities and provide personalized attention. Students can narrow their studies in a variety of focus areas and choose to pursue an independent study under the guidance of an instructor for even more specialized education.
As a student, you will gain a firm understanding of how to:
- Apply mathematics, science, and engineering principles to a variety of civil engineering situations.
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex problems in civil engineering.
- Use the techniques, skills, and modern tools necessary for engineering practice.
Master’s Focus Areas
A focus area can be selected but is not required. Your focus area will not appear on your diploma but will provide a tailored education for students looking to specialize in a specific field.

“I really enjoyed my time in the EP program. It was flexible, I was always able to find a course I could take, and most importantly, I was able to finish my degree while moving from Baltimore to Denver without interruption. I felt that for the most part, the courses were well structured to accommodate working professionals. I rarely felt as if I was in over my head. I feel that this was a great career and professional move and I would recommend it to anyone seeking to further their technical education. ”
