Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.)
A Major in Civil Engineering leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.) degree consists of 128 credit hours.
Degree Requirements
General Education Courses
Social science and humanities electives must be chosen both to satisfy University General Education requirements and to meet the objectives of a broad education consistent with the educational goals of the profession. To avoid taking “extra” humanities/social science electives, students must select their electives carefully after consulting with their faculty advisor. The science electives must be chosen from an approved list of physical, life, or earth sciences and must complement the student's overall educational plan.
