Civil Engineering, B.S.
Program Summary:
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.) program provides students with a comprehensive education in the design, construction, and management of infrastructure systems. This program focuses on the principles of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, and water resources engineering.
Students will gain a solid foundation in mathematics, physics, engineering principles, and materials science to solve real-world problems related to the development and maintenance of critical infrastructure. The curriculum includes coursework in engineering mechanics, fluid dynamics, soil mechanics, surveying, and environmental systems. Hands-on experience is provided through laboratory work, design projects, and internships, allowing students to apply their knowledge to practical engineering challenges.
Graduates of the program are equipped to pursue careers in civil engineering firms, government agencies, construction companies, or consulting firms. They are prepared to work on large-scale projects such as highways, bridges, buildings, dams, and water supply systems. Additionally, students are well-prepared for professional licensure exams, such as the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, which is a stepping stone toward becoming a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE).

Program Prerequisites for Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.) typically include: Program Prerequisites: Educational Requirements: A high school diploma or equivalent. Strong performance in mathematics (especially calculus and algebra), physics, and chemistry. Completion of high school courses in advanced mathematics, science, and engineering-related subjects is often beneficial. Recommended High School Coursework: Mathematics: Courses in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus are highly recommended. Physics: A foundational understanding of mechanics, thermodynamics, and material properties is crucial. Chemistry: Basic knowledge of chemistry, particularly related to materials science, will help in understanding the properties of construction materials. Computer Science: Familiarity with basic programming or engineering software (AutoCAD, for example) can be beneficial. Standardized Tests (if applicable): SAT or ACT scores may be required for admission, with an emphasis on math and science sections. Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) credits in calculus, physics, or chemistry can allow students to skip introductory courses. Minimum GPA: A competitive high school GPA of 3.0–3.5 or higher, particularly in math, science, and engineering-related courses. Application Components: Application form with personal and academic details. High school transcript showing completed courses and grades, particularly in math and science. Letters of recommendation, especially from math and science teachers who can attest to the student’s capabilities in these areas. Personal statement or essay explaining the applicant's interest in civil engineering, career goals, and why they chose the program. English Language Proficiency (for international students): TOEFL, IELTS, or an equivalent test may be required for non-native English speakers to demonstrate proficiency in English. Additional Considerations: Participation in math or engineering competitions or internships can enhance an application. Some programs may require placement tests in math or physics to assess readiness for advanced coursework.
