Civil engineering at UMKC
UMKC graduates about 28 civil engineering majors a year, 2% of its graduating class. That puts it 121st of 255 schools we score for civil engineering, a solid program at 56 out of 100. Graduates in the major earn a median $85,000 four years out, about the national figure for the same major. Research spending in the field runs about $2 million a year, a rough guide to how many labs and projects undergraduates can join.

How the score works
The score is out of 100 and compares UMKC with every school we score in civil engineering. It weighs what graduates earn four years out against the same major nationally (25%), research spending in the field (20%, NSF), how many undergraduate courses the department lists (20%), the student body's test scores (20%) and the size of the program (15%, capped so size alone can't win). 80+ is a standout program, 65+ strong, 45+ solid.
