The Department of civil and environmental engineering offers a four-year undergraduate curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, a professional degree. A dual-degree program also is offered leading to a B.S. degree in civil engineering and a B.S. or B.A. degree in any liberal arts and science major.

Undergraduate students in the School of Engineering follow a common first year curriculum. Students declare a specific engineering major during the second semester of the first-year studies. Following the declaration of a major, each student will begin to follow the curriculum and receive advising specific to their chosen engineering department. SOE students must adhere …
Many core engineering courses require that students take courses in progressive order, successfully completing (meaning a grade of D or better) a prerequisite course prior to going on to the next level. For example, Calculus 2 has a prerequisite of Calculus 1. If you have not successfully completed Calculus 1, then you do not have the prerequisite for Calculus 2, and do …
The last two years of study involve primarily civil and environmental engineering courses wherein the student selects a major and secondary area of study from the five areas of concentration within the department. The total credits required for graduation are 128 credits.
Rutgers School of Engineering provides students a unique opportunity to pursue their passion for engineering and offers bachelor of science degrees in nine major fields. Undergraduate students in the School of Engineering follow a common first year curriculum. Students declare a specific engineering major during the second semester of the first-year studies.

The first two years of study for undergraduate students build the base needed for the civil and environmental engineering education by taking various courses in math, theoretical and applied mechanics, and some general engineering courses. Also several electives are offered that are both course related and non-course related.
Civil engineers design and create virtually all infrastructure, from bridges and highways to airports and sewage treatment facilities. Within civil engineering, there can a be a wide range of specialization: structural engineers may be involved in designing buildings to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes; transportation engineers may design ...
The objective of the undergraduate civil engineering program is to provide broad and thorough education to students in civil and environmental engineering fundamentals, applications, and design in order to prepare graduates for the practice of professional engineering.
2) an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global , cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
A letter grade of F is a failing grade. In some cases, students can apply to have the F removed from the GPA: http://soe.rutgers.edu/oas/pnc-repeat 4. All CEE courses, including all Department and Technical Electives, must be taken at Rutgers for the first time. Students who fail a CEE course may repeat it elsewhere.
Minors consist of approximately 18 credits. However, some minors are more than 18 credits. Refer to the department, Degree Navigator (dn.rutgers.edu), the RU catalog, and/or departmental websites for details on course selection and requirements. There are two forms required: declaration and certification of the minor.
Double Major means that you must fulfill the ‘major requirements’ as described for that department (refer to the Undergraduate catalog or Degree Navigator for details). Generally, a second major is in the area of 30 credits. You would remain a School 14 student, but you would have the second major noted on your transcript. Double majors do NOT appear on your diploma, but your final official transcript will note the completion of the second major and you can market this information on your resume.
Dual Degree means that you have to actually apply to the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and be accepted. After you are accepted, you must fulfill all requirements for the BA or BS for SAS. This is a more involved process and includes additional work on top of the ~30 credits for the major.
Humanities/Social Science Minor: A Psychology minor consists of 6 courses (each of 3 credits or more) including 830:101. Each Engineering student must select 4 humanities electives. You can elect to take all 4 of these humanities requirements (according to the Eng’g humanities/social science guidelines) in psychology.
