Transportation Systems Analysis and Planning

专业详情

Transportation is a dynamic field: technological, economic, social, political, and regulatory changes continually alter the environment in which transportation services are demanded and provided. The design, operation, and effectiveness of transportation services are closely connected to other social and economic systems. 

Rapid changes in the transportation environment and the interrelationships between transportation, urban systems, information services, and production planning require transportation professionals to be well-trained in fundamental disciplines, to be able to adapt to change, and to have the vision and insight needed to implement creative options in a dynamic world.

Our objective is to prepare our students to identify, analyze, and solve complex transportation problems, and to communicate those solutions toward their successful implementation. We are particularly proud of the close and supportive relationships between our faculty and students, which help make the Northwestern transportation program an effective community environment for research and professional and personal development.

MS in Transportation Systems Analysis and Planning at Northwestern prepares our graduates with sound fundamentals, in order to create transportation systems analysts who can address the needs that stem from the development of transportation systems in the new era.

The program builds on the strengths of the world-renowned transportation systems faculty and leading firms in the industry. Students will have the opportunity to interact with a large network of faculty members, industry partners, and alumni through the Transportation Center, a prominent research and education hub of transportation in the U.S.

• Join a new generation of transportation systems engineers
• Experience a broad curriculum in theory and practice
• Interact with leading firms in the transportation industry
• Develop cutting-edge analytical skills through faculty-guided research
• Lead the unfolding revolution in transportation
