Bachelor of Science/MSc in Civil Engineering in Dartmouth United States | University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

Civil engineering focuses on designing and constructing the built environment we interact with daily: structures like buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams; transportation networks including waterways, railways, and highways; systems for water power, irrigation, drainage, and supply; and solutions for wastewater, hazardous waste disposal, and environmental health. As a civil engineering student, you will gain expertise in planning, designing, building, and overseeing public and private infrastructure. You will also be equipped to tackle modern engineering challenges involving sustainability, climate change, and alternative energy sources. The civil engineering bachelor's program includes a specialization in environmental resources engineering, where professionals use civil engineering methods to address issues in air and water pollution, solid and hazardous waste management, renewable energy, and water resources.
A minimum of 30 credits is required, though students in the 5-year BS/MS program can apply 6 credits from upper-level (400 or above) courses toward both their bachelor's and master's degrees. These courses must align with the student's Program of Study, which requires approval from the Graduate Advisor and Graduate Program Director.
