Fund Your Education
The Graduate School at Montana State is dedicated to helping students secure funding during their time at MSU. Some resources the Civil Engineering department and Graduate School offer includes:
- The Benjamin Fellowship, given to three new Ph.D. students in the Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering
- Internal Fellowship and Funding Opportunities
- External Fellowship and Funding Opportunities
Additionally, most of our incoming graduate students are funded with teaching assistantships for at least their first year. During that period, they connect with faculty and typically receive research assistantships for the remainder of their graduate studies. Applicants must be admitted before being considered for funding.
Facilities
Research in the Engineering department is interdisciplinary in nature but works heavily with the following research entities:
- Structures, Reinforced Concrete, Alternative Materials
- Transportation Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Water Resources, Constructed Wetlands, Ecohydraulics
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Snow Science and Cold Research
Admissions Requirements
