Georgia Institute of Technology has a department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Their graduate program includes numerous professional disciplines that allow students to focus on programs of study such as:

Construction Engineering and Management: Through this course a student will get a general overview of planning, designing, and constructing civil engineering projects, including instruction in health and safety procedures. Students will be able to apply   their theoretical knowledge during laboratory sessions.

Environmental Engineering: This program includes the following courses: Design of Treatment Facilities for Drinking Water, Microbial Processing Principles in Environment, Chemical and Biological Principles in Environment, Aquatic Chemistry, Fate of Contaminants in the Subsurface, Flow and Transport through Porous Media I/II, Contaminated Sediment Geochemistry, Physicochemical Processes, Separation Processes, Hazardous Waste Site Remediation, Solid-Liquid Separations, Industrial Waste Treatment and Disposal, Membrane Processes, Industrial Ecology, Modeling and Simulation of Biological Treatment Systems, and Air Pollution.

Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Water Resources: A student in this area of study will choose from the following courses: Water Resource Management I/II, Intermediate Fluid Mechanics, Advanced Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Sediment Transport, Open Channel Hydraulics, and Hydrodynamic Stability & Turbulence.

Geo-systems Engineering: A student researching for a career in this field will need to study: Landfill Design and Management, Environmental Geotechnics, Engineering Geophysics, Foundation Systems, Geo-synthetics in Civil Engineering, Geo-technical Seepage Analysis, Ground Modification, Specific Mathematical Applications, Signals and Inverse Problems in Civil Engineering, Unsaturated Soil Mechanics, and Applied Fracture Mechanics.

Structural Engineering Mechanics and Materials: The following courses are options for a student looking for this occupation: Theory of Elastic Stability, Energy Methods in Mechanics, Rehabilitation of Existing Structures, Finite Element Method of Structural Analysis, Advanced Strength of Materials, Matrix Structural Analysis, Damage, Failure and Durability of Composite Materials, Structural Systems/Modeling, Design of Polymer Composite Structures, and Structural Steel Design.

Transportation Systems: Transportation, Energy, Air Quality, and Land Use - Transportation Interaction, Transit Systems Planning and Design, Transportation Infrastructure Management and Traffic Control Transportation are possible courses for a student to attend if interested in this field of study.
