Launch into a High-Impact Career

When our CEE students complete their master’s degrees, they don’t leave Duke. They launch.

Our graduates accelerate from our forward-looking programs with wide-ranging connections and opportunities. During your studies, you’ll work 1:1 with a career coach and discover how far your purpose and drive can take you.

Most Duke CEE’s master’s graduates go on to leading engineering, construction, consulting and technology firms. Others pursue further study at Duke and other leading academic institutions.
