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); 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.
