Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Program Overview

Everywhere you turn, you see the work of a civil engineer. That’s because they are an integral part of the nation’s infrastructure—from roads and bridges to skyscrapers, airports, and water treatment plants. Civil engineers are responsible for planning, designing and supervising construction of the nation’s infrastructure.
