Explore principles of civil and environmental engineering. Earn your B.S. in Civil Engineering.

Our bachelor鈥檚 degree program in civil engineering with an emphasis on environmental engineering offers you the opportunity to develop expertise in fundamental engineering principles as well as one of several specialized areas of interest. Through upper-level electives, you鈥檒l focus on your choice of construction engineering and management, environmental and water resources engineering, geotechnical engineering, land surveying, structural engineering or transportation engineering. Read more about these learning tracks below. You can further formalize your studies with a certificate in construction management or a land surveying license.

Learn more information about the program, such as admissions information, course offerings, and requirements, at the undergraduate course catalog .

Preparation for Licensure

Obtaining a professional license in Civil Engineering represents mastery in the profession and is necessary to stamp designs of major infrastructure projects.  Your degree in Civil Engineering at 帝王会所 is approved by the ABET and the State of 帝王会所 Engineers and Surveyors Board and constitutes the first step towards becoming a board-certified professional civil engineer.  In our program, you will also be required to take the state Fundamentals of Engineering test before graduation, a second major hurdle on the path to licensure.
