Terzaghi went to the Technical University in Graz, Austria, to study mechanical engineering. He graduated with honours in 1904. After WWI, he began a study of the properties of soils in an engineering context, and this was quickly recognized as an important new contribution to the behaviour of soils. He later accepted a job offer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
