Carnegie Mellon University, based in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania offers a fully funded PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Doctoral candidates develop an individualized program of study in one of our three major focus areas: Advanced Infrastructure Systems (AIS); Environmental Engineering, Sustainability, and Science (EESS); and Mechanics, Materials, and Computing (MMC). Many of the graduate students conducting research in the department receive financial aid in the form of research assistantships that cover tuition, technology fees, and a stipend for living expenses for the calendar year (including Summer) for up to five years, as long as sufficient progress is made toward degree completion.
