2 PhD Programs in Transportation Engineering 2023

An education in transportation engineering may help students develop and hone the skills needed to work effectively on designing, building and maintaining highways, ports and other transportation assets. Those seeking a career as a highway engineer, a railroad engineer or port engineer may benefit from this focus.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
