Name of the sustainability-focused graduate-level degree program:
Civil Engineering
A brief description of the graduate-level degree program:
The Master and Certificate programs in Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences emphasize a practical understanding of fundamental scientific and engineering principles. The goal is to produce professionals who can sustainably manage and solve environmental problems in natural and urban systems.
With the Southwest and Southern California as backdrops, students can emphasize Environmental Engineering, with a focus on the application of biological, chemical and physical processes; or Water Resources Engineering, with a focus on the movement and storage of water in natural and urban systems.
We also offer career-enhancing three-course certificates in Sustainability, Groundwater Management, Water Quality Management, and Water and Wastewater Treatment.

A brief description of the graduate degree program (2nd program):
Modern technological programs are characterized by high and ever growing complexity, multidisciplinary character, and strong interactions between science, technology, business, and human civilization. Systems Engineering is the body of knowledge evolved to successfully manage such systems. The mission of all academic programs offered by the LMU Graduate Systems Engineering Program is to provide working engineers, scientists and other professionals involved in complex programs the knowledge and skills needed to manage such endeavors and enable the realization of successful systems as members of systems engineering, science, business and public policy teams.
Towards this goal, the LMU Systems Engineering Program offers a rich menu of study options and technical areas. The Program develops three following attributes in all of its graduates:
1. The ability to execute the systems engineering process with excellence;
2. The capability to lead a complex systems engineering activity and manage a multidisciplinary team of engineers, and other professionals involved in complex programs;
3. The capability to work utilizing ethical and sustainability principles.
