Undergraduate Program

The first year of undergraduate study is devoted to developing writing skills and subjects in mathematics and science that serve as a foundation for upper level professional studies. During the second year of study, students learn the principles of engineering mechanics, strength of materials and surveying. Junior and senior year course work gives students a working knowledge of structural, environmental, geotechnical and transportation engineering. Click here for a checklist of courses. In addition to education in these four basic areas of civil engineering practice, advanced elective courses are available in each area during the senior year. Engineering design, concepts and computer aided engineering are integrated throughout the program. See curriculum for more details. 

Two undergraduate degree study program options are available in civil and environmental engineering: a four year course of study and an alternative five-year plan (Track II) that provides a phased introduction to the engineering curricula over the first two years of study. Dual degree programs between the Colleges of Engineering and Arts and Science and dual degree programs with other colleges are also available. A combined Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Master of Science in Engineering, BS/MS, program is also available for qualified undergraduate students.  Students may also choose a minor in business administration through the College of Management.
