At the undergraduate level, the department provides a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program structured to establish a solid grounding in science, mathematics, and engineering principles; develop technical proficiency across various civil engineering disciplines; and foster awareness of ethical considerations, safety, professionalism, and socioeconomic factors in addressing technical challenges through synthesis, planning, and design. Design concepts are introduced starting in the freshman year. These are built upon with analysis and design components in professional program courses, leading to a comprehensive design capstone. The Fast Track Program allows high-achieving senior Civil Engineering undergraduates to earn both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to six credit hours of coursework. Technical electives that are cross-listed as graduate courses fulfill requirements for both bachelor's and master's degrees. Students enrolled in MECE or MSCE programs may apply up to two courses for dual credit.
Students must have completed official secondary school transcripts, diplomas, certificates and/or national test examination scores as appropriate for the educational systems in their country. In order to be considered for freshman admission students must have completed secondary school studies equivalent to that of United States high school graduation.
Official SAT I or ACT scores are required for entering freshmen with less than 24 semester hours of university level course work (equivalent to one year of full time study).
The minimum acceptable score on the TOEFL is 79 on the Internet-based test, 550 on the paper-based test and 213 on the computer-based test. The IELTS can be substituted for TOEFL scores. The minimum acceptable overall score of 6.5 is required for admission.
