The goal of the transportation engineering program at Oklahoma State University is to provide students with the technical and management skills required for professional work in both the public and private sectors. The program encompasses all major modes of transporting people and freight and involves the areas of planning, design, operations, management, maintenance, and evaluation of transportation systems.
The school of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers two graduate programs in the areas of transportation systems and Transportation materials. These programs are structured around core transportation engineering courses and supporting courses in other areas of civil engineering or other disciplines. In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of transportation problems, students have the opportunity to take courses offered by many academic departments at OSU. Relevant courses are taught by faculty with diverse backgrounds and research interests in Civil & Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering & Management, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Geography, Statistics, Economics, Political Science, and Management.
In response to industry's need for skilled telecommunications management graduates, OSU offers a Master of Science degree in telecommunications management. This Program draws on the expertise of three OSU Colleges - the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, and the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology. As a result, the telecommunications management student will have a traditional home department to achieve a depth of knowledge in one discipline, while developing broad knowledge in business, technical (computer science, electrical engineering, management science and information systems), and communications disciplines.
Transportation research at OSU enriches the learning process by involving students in research projects that deal with today’s complex transportation problems and issues. Excellent laboratory and computer facilities are available for advanced academic and research work.
