We're sure that once you visit, you'll see why we love it so much.
About UT, Austin, and the Program
Curious about UT, the transportation program, and Austin before you visit? Well, we can tell you right away that both our graduate civil engineering program and our graduate transportation program are rated among the best in the US, our faculty is extremely accomplished and respected, and our graduate students are some of the most intelligent and personable you can meet. IF you're looking for more details, the current students have combined their thoughts on these topics and more and posted them in the Inside Experience section. If you have any further or more specific questions, email the students directly at utexasite@gmail.com.
Finances
Outstanding opportunities for financial support are available to graduate students in Transportation Engineering. Most of our graduate students receive support in the form of assistantships and fellowships. In some cases, a nice "package" can be arranged by combining a fellowship with an assistantship. These awards are typically sufficient to allow graduate students to be financially independent and afford a reasonable student lifestyle. Learn more about financial support here.
