CEA - Top Civil Engineering Universities...

ISAAC OAKESON
About this episode

There are plenty of civil engineering schools today, located in all different parts of the country, ranging from the world-renowned and relatively expensive ones to the small- and mid-sized schools, with more affordable tuition fees. Even though the range of options can be pretty huge and diversified, everyone will have a unique university experience that includes their own needs and capabilities, both financially, academically, and socially.

Taking into account how overwhelming the process of choosing a specific university can be, today’s episode is a dissection of a list compiled by the U.S. News, in which they rank the best civil engineering schools for graduate programs available in the US. Isaac dives deeper into the particularities of each one of them, such as enrollment numbers, tuition fees, student-to-staff ratio, and more.

This is a great episode to get to know a bit more about the civil engineering schools available out there. If you’re in the process of choosing a school for your graduate studies, or not, this episode will provide you with the basics you should know about the top 12 schools, and some notable ones you must also take into consideration when making your decision.
