Civil engineering program at a glance

The following tables present an outline of the sequence of courses that are required to fulfill the requirements for a bachelor of science in civil engineering. Detailed information for transfer students can be found here. Students are encouraged to meet with faculty advisors to work out a graduation plan.

The courses and year/semester indicated here are to give you an idea of the scope of the program and students may take courses in slightly modified sequencing, depending on aptitude and the course offerings as long as prerequisites are met. Those issues are discussed in greater detail in the catalog section of this website.
