I have always wanted to be a structural engineer but combining my professional career as a civil engineer and pursuing a graduate degree in structural engineering has been difficult for me. The UAB concentration in structural engineering has made the difference for me since I enrolled. It is excellently structured to accommodate professionals like me. In addition, the academic and professional expertise of the faculty and learning support available to students has made it one of the best decisions I have taken.
