Bachelor of Science in 
Civil Engineering Technology

Students in the Civil Engineering Technology bachelor's degree program gain a solid background in structural engineering, material properties, soils, infrastructure and environmental factors. Graduates of the program may be employed as technologists and entry-level professionals in fields such as construction and design of buildings, industrial facilities, roadways, tunnels, bridges, environmental projects, land development, substructure investigations, and material testing.

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete the program will depend upon the individual student's course load. Students may earn the Associate’s Degree in Civil Engineering Technology (65 credits) as they work 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.
