Dual Degree - Bachelor of Science - Civil Engineering & Master of Science - Engineering - Civil Engineering

Bridges, roads, roofs, airports: Wherever you go, you’ll see the work of civil engineers. We design, build, and maintain the foundation and infrastructure for our world, from interstate highways, suspension bridges, high-rise buildings, and energy systems to seaports, airports and community centers.

Purdue University Northwest’s combined Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) and Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) program allows outstanding undergraduate students to expand their studies by completing both degrees at an accelerated pace.

Why Study Civil Engineering at PNW?

If you’re a hard-working, dedicated engineering student who has decided to pursue graduate study, we offer an option that makes the best use of your time and schedule.

The 4+1 combined option means you will receive both your bachelor’s AND master’s degrees in just five years.

That means you can save a whole year of studying and paying tuition and be that much closer to your next big step: starting your career!

The combined program allows you to use nine credits of graduate level courses (approved by a graduate advisor or the graduate committee of the MCE department) to satisfy both the BS and MS graduation requirements.

This reduces the number of required credits for the combined BSCE+MSE degree to 143, making it possible for you to complete both degrees in five years.
