Program Overview

University of Maryland Program Details

The University of Maryland offers a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Project Management. This program is designed for advanced graduate students with strong academic credentials who seek to focus on a specific research subject in depth.


Program Requirements

The program requires a minimum of 36 credit hours and combines advanced-level coursework with a doctoral dissertation. The PhD program is residential, and UMD does not offer an online PhD program in Project Management.


Research Opportunities

Doctoral students will have many opportunities to research relevant theoretical and practical problems in major project-based industries, including engineering and construction, real estate planning, government services, and others, for use in their dissertations.


Supervision and Support

Every doctoral student is supervised by a designated professor and benefits from his or her personal guidance. A committee of other professors formed with expertise similar to the student’s topic of study will also be available for support.
