The Natural Selection |
The University of California, Irvine (UCI) has evolved a unique
interdisciplinary program in Transportation Science, making UCI
the natural selection for graduate studies at the frontiers of
the field. While most transportation programs focus on a single
discipline, UCI's program, which leads to the M.S. or Ph.D., is
administered by faculty from the Departments of Economics, Civil
and Environmental Engineering, and Urban & Regional Planning,
as well as from the Department of Information and Computer Science
and the Graduate School of Management. |
|
The Missing Link |
Transportation Science draws upon contributing departments for
faculty, courses, and research opportunities, providing a synergy
that is rare if not unique in transportation education.
The program stresses research at the frontiers of Transportation
Science, and is designed to educate students in a broad set of
competencies and perspectives that mirror the practice of current
transportation research and practice, inherently interdisciplinary
fields. Graduates acquire a broad range of skills and master one of
four specializations: Planning and Policy Analysis, Traffic Systems
Analysis, Transportation Economics, and Methods & Analysis. |
|
The Environment |
UCI offers an environment for broad interaction between faculty
and students in research, courses, and seminars. Research
topics include: travel forecasting and activity-based modeling,
road pricing, Intelligent Transportation Systems and Advanced
Transportation Management Systems, development and deployment
of advanced technologies, land use and regional development,
vehicle choice and usage models, the future of the automobile,
logistics and freight modeling, transit management and analysis,
and traffic microsimulation. |
|
The Future |
Employment opportunities for transportation professionals
continue to expand. Recent graduates have found careers in
universities, government agencies, and consulting firms. The
broad interdisciplinary perspectives defining UCI's graduate
program in Transportation Science will help you find the
natural selection for your future.
