BA/BS in Civil Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering prepares students to design, build and maintain infrastructure such as airports, bridges, buildings, highways, ports and waterways. Sustainability and professional judgment are recurring themes. The curriculum covers the main civil engineering specialties, giving graduates a varied technical background. Early courses include composition, geology and an introduction to the profession, while later work leads into capstone prerequisites and a senior design experience. Innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership are emphasized alongside technical content. The page ties demand for civil engineers to the condition of the country's infrastructure. Students progress through a structured four-year plan of fall and spring terms, and the page includes a curriculum section so they can see how courses build toward the final engineering design work.
