Undergraduate Programs in Civil and Environmental Engineering

In this section:

Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Minor in Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering

Up one level:

Civil and Environmental Engineering

The undergraduate Civil Engineering major provides a pre-professional program balancing the fundamentals common to many special fields of civil engineering with a field of study in Environmental and Water Studies or Structures and Construction. The undergraduate Environmental Engineering major offers a more focused program in Environmental and Water Studies. Laboratory facilities are available to students in building energy, construction, environmental engineering and science, experimental stress analysis, fluid mechanics, structural and earthquake engineering, and advanced sensing technologies. The department hosts the School of Engineering pre-approved majors in Architectural Design and Atmosphere/Energy; see requirements in the "School of Engineering" section of this bulletin.

At least one year of graduate study is recommended for professional practice. Students who contemplate advanced study at Stanford should discuss their plans with their advisers in the junior year. The coterminal B.S.-M.S. program should be considered by students who want an integrated five-year program; applications are considered once a year near the beginning of Winter Quarter.

For University coterminal degree program rules and University application forms, see http://registrar.stanford.edu/shared/publications.htm#Coterm.
