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.

The STEM community has a variety of student professional organizations that allow you to grow and foster your learning in an environment with those who share the same interests.
Student professional organizations provide opportunities for you to meet experienced professionals, collaborate with students at other universities, or form relationships with colleagues outside the classroom. They provide social, academic, entrepreneurial, and professional networking opportunities.
Each year, thousands of dollars in scholarships are awarded to students enrolled in the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Scholarships come from a variety of sources, vary in amount, and are available to both incoming and current STEM students. Below, you will find further information regarding the opportunities that may be available to you through the STEM College.
Nearly 11,000 students
Over $8 Million in Scholarships Given Annually
21 Average Class Size
5 University Residence Halls with plenty of nearby apartments
