The “Transportation Leadership” concentration is a new initiative targeted at working professionals who are looking for career advancement to leadership roles in the transportation profession. This online degree offers a blend of technical and leadership courses and is offered in collaboration with the Engineering Leadership and Engineering Innovation Institutes at UF. This program is open to students who have a bachelor’s degree (not limited to civil engineering) and work experience in a transportation-related field.
Upon admission to the program, students will first take the core course “Fundamentals of the Transportation Profession,” which is focused on the past, present, and future of the profession. Guest Speakers will address various themes such as institutions, public policy, financing, economics, public engagement, communications, leadership, management and select technical issues. The students will take three additional core classes: Engineering Leadership, Fundamentals of Engineering Project Management and Engineering Innovation. The students can take the remaining six courses from a wide array of online transportation-related courses offered by the UFTI. There are also opportunities for transferring-in relevant graduate credits from other institutions. Professionals working for the state of Florida may be eligible for a tuition waiver. Students can start this program in both Spring and Fall semesters.
