What will I learn?

Transportation engineering at the University of Colorado Denver is dedicated to creating a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient transportation system, particularly in terms of road safety, active transportation, and transit. With a campus located in heart of downtown Denver, the city becomes our research lab. Our research activities combine empirical data and analysis with advanced computational and theoretical methods. Looking beyond what we think we know about transportation in order to uncover more fundamental knowledge requires both a more comprehensive viewpoint than is customary and the ability to embrace the fact that transportation is more complex than our current design approaches dictate. Our work is highly multi-disciplinary with a goal to not only advance the academic literature but policy and practice as well.

Entry requirements

For international students

Students must hold an earned master's degree before they can be admitted to a doctoral program in the Department of Civil Engineering; there is no direct admission from a bachelor's program to the doctoral program. However, a student enrolled in a master's program may apply for the doctoral program before the master's degree is granted, as long as the master's degree is conferred before they enroll as a doctoral student at CU Denver. Statement of purpose – must be an original essay submitted with application. Scanned copies will not be accepted for submission. Resume - must be submitted with application. Letters of recommendation – two letters of recommendation are required for all programs except Biomedical Engineering (which requires three) and Electrical Engineering (for which letters are not required for internal applicants and are optional for external applicants). Official GRE scores – the college has removed the evaluation of GRE scores for admission decisions. If choosing to submit, send scores officially through ETS using code -4875. Preferred minimum score of 300 plus. Official transcripts – we require one official copy of each previous transcript. Send e-transcripts to the Graduate School
