Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program
provides a broad liberal education within the
School of Engineering, but a less technical one than
either the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
(BSCE) or the Bachelor of Science in Engineering
(BSE). Students working toward this degree
normally place a heavier emphasis on the humanities
and social sciences than students working in the
other programs. This degree program, along with
the bachelor of science in engineering, recognizes
the unique value of engineering as preprofessional
education for architecture, business administration,
city planning, dentistry, medicine, law, public
health, and other professions, as well as for the
student who wishes to combine engineering with
nonengineering disciplines. Faculty from the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
will supervise, with consent, programs of study
in their areas of expertise. For details, see the
School of Engineering section.

GRADUATE ProgrAMS
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
Students entering the doctoral program in Civil
and Environmental Engineering should meet the
admission requirements of the graduate school, gain
acceptance by the Civil and Environmental
Engineering faculty, and hold a Master of Science
or Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Environmental
Engineering or a related discipline. The
Ph.D. is a research oriented degree that requires
in-depth knowledge of a specific topic of study.
