Civil Engineering Optional Concentration

The Department of Civil Engineering awards the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. This is the only designation that will appear on the student’s official transcript and diploma; however, the elective courses in the undergraduate curriculum enable each student to gain increased depth in a specialty area of interest.

Each student, working with their academic advisor (or faculty mentor), is urged to choose the electives that best satisfy his or her individual requirements.

The table below shows the recommended courses, and the student should not read these as required.
