Civil Engineering Degree

Civil engineers design bridges, water systems, damns, roads, and other infrastructure projects. They are also frequently required to supervise maintenance projects. Many entry-level jobs can be obtained with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, but those who obtain a master's degree in civil engineering enhance their job opportunities and earning potential. Students enrolled in college degree programs in civil engineering will be required to complete courses in heavy construction, technology, math, physics, and management. Many schools offer PhD degree programs in civil engineering.

Civil engineers interested in working in management positions should earn a master's degree at a minimum. Those interested in research or university level teaching jobs should complete a doctorate program.
