Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
This undergraduate civil engineering program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) degree. The degree program prepares graduates for entry level positions in activities associated with the analysis, planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure systems including airports, bridges, buildings, water supply, water treatment and disposal, flood mitigation, and roadway systems. Civil engineers are concerned with the impact that projects have to the public and the environment. This baccalaureate program will expose students to the following areas of civil engineering.
- Structural Engineering
- Transportation systems engineering
- Hydraulic and Hydrologic engineering
- Construction Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
Specific Admission Requirements
In order to complete this undergraduate degree program within the typical four-year period, an incoming freshman student is expected to be adequately prepared in high school mathematics to be placed into MATH 126 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I (5 Credit Hours) or higher. Students who start this degree program at a math level lower than calculus may need additional time to complete the degree program.
