About this program

Railroad activity in the United States is flourishing, with expansion across the industry - in freight, passenger (inter-urban and commuter), transit, and emerging high-speed rail. With increased activity comes the need for highly trained professionals to ensure operating safety, efficiency, and cost-effective use of resources. Yet many of the most experienced engineers and supervisors are retiring, leaving a gap in knowledge, experience and capability.

This graduate certificate is also designed for engineering professionals working in the area of railroad engineering or for those desiring to expand their knowledge of railroad engineering and related engineering disciplines, to thereby become viable candidates for advancement in the railroad industry.

The Graduate Certificate in Railroad Engineering is available on-line, allowing students to view the content as their weekly schedule permits. All homework and exams are also available to be taken and submitted on-line.
