I doubt it. Project managers are those with at least few years of experience and preferrably PE license. No reputatable construction firms will hire fresh grads, who don’t even have the EIT certificate, for that role. I don’t know where you pulled that from.



I would guess goldenboy accidentally mixed up the project manager and project engineer roles…the project engineer certainly assists the project manager, though. It does seem like civil engineers at Duke have really good placement for whatever reason. There aren’t very many of them, so perhaps the less competition yields a favorable result for them. This is probably not applicable to the OP since he doesn’t know if he wants to go into civil.

I would definitely wait for financial aid offers (and acceptance offer too) and then compare costs. Hard to make a fully informed decision with a key component missing from the equation. But no matter what, can’t go wrong as you have great choices.
