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 advisor, is urged to choose the electives that best satisfy his or her individual requirements.
In the descriptive material that follows, the listed technical and supportive electives are recommendations and are not requirements.
