BA/BS in Civil Engineering

The undergraduate civil engineering degree builds a foundation in environmental engineering alongside the core disciplines of civil practice. Coursework develops critical thinking, helping students divide complex problems into smaller parts. Students learn to think through problems step by step, from analysis to solution. Required subjects reach into geotechnical work, hydraulics, water supply systems, structural design, roadway planning, and environmental topics, with surveying skills included. Civil engineers trained here may also move into aerospace, information technology, business, law, or medicine. The program holds accreditation from Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, which evaluates programs against established engineering standards. Graduates are prepared to serve the public through infrastructure and planning work. Students gain a grounding that supports work across design, construction, and public infrastructure.
