With a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, you can pursue several different M.S. degree paths including the Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.) Transportation Systems Engineering track. </span></p>\r\n<p><span>This track focuses on the enhancement of the transportation infrastructure of society. With the knowledge and skills in transportation planning, operations and traffic engineering that you gain from this program, you could address the challenges of transportation systems in your community and movement of goods and services around the world. The curriculum focuses on highway engineering, traffic, pavements, safety, planning and intelligent transportation systems. </span></p>\r\n<p><span>The accelerated program allows you to complete your education faster so you can start your career sooner. Alumni of this program find positions in </span><span>consulting firms, construction, and construction-related industries, in city, county, state, and federal government agencies, and academic institutions. </span></p>",
