 Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs
BS degree
Civil and environmental engineering requires a preparation with breadth as well as depth. Each student’s program includes a sequence of technical electives that combine engineering sciences and engineering design that culminates in a major design experience. The curriculum is also designed to include courses in the humanities and social sciences.
Calculation of the GPA in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Major
In order to graduate, students must have at least a 2.000 cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all courses taken at the university.
Students must also have at least a 2.000 cumulative GPA in the major. For purposes of this computation, all courses taken by CEN majors that are shown in the CEN catalog requirements for the second year, third year, and fourth year (irrespective of when the courses are taken by the student), aside from the University Studies requirements, are counted. Any additional CEN courses taken by a student beyond those required in the program description in the catalog (such as extra CEN technical electives) will also be counted toward the cumulative GPA in the major.

University Studies Requirements for Civil Engineering
Degree candidates for the B.S. degree in Civil Engineering must satisfy the University Studies requirements, as described in the Academic Policies section of this Catalog.
- University Studies requirements in Clusters 1, 2, 4B, and 5 are automatically satisfied by the courses shown as required for this major.
- The University Studies requirements in Clusters 3, 4A, and 4C may be fulfilled by selecting courses from the approved lists in each cluster.
University Studies Departmental Requirements
Students majoring in Civil Engineering will meet their departmentally-determined University Studies requirements as follows: Alternative Paths Program Requirements
Students not starting in Calculus (MTH 153) will be placed in Pre-Calculus (MTH 150) or Algebra (MTH 100) which may extend the program beyond four years. Students in MTH 100 receive three (3) administrative credits for the course. Administrative credits do not count towards the total credits required for graduation.
