Associate of Science in 
Civil Engineering Technology

Building and maintaining the critical infrastructure of today’s society demands both technical insight and hands-on experience. Students pursing the Civil Engineering Technology program gain a solid background in structural engineering, material properties, soils, infrastructure and environmental factors.

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete the program will depend upon the individual student's course load (how many courses they take each semester). Earning the Associate’s Degree in Civil Engineering Technology (65 credits) may be taken as a benchmark towards the Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering Technology (124 credits). Some of the courses taken toward this degree program may also be applied toward a related certificate program, allowing students to earn an additional credential as they pursue their degree.
