  • Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

    The Civil Engineering Program at the undergraduate level is broadly based and provides courses in the major divisions of Civil Engineering while, at the same time, offering an opportunity for specialization through junior and senior electives. There are three concentrations that permit more in-depth study: (1) Environmental, (2) Structures, and (3) Geotechnical.
