Civil and Environmental Engineering

Description

Every day, from the water faucet to the highway, you see the work of civil and environmental engineers in action. In fact, you don't just see their work-you use it. Whether you're driving across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, gazing up at the Empire State Building, or canoeing down the Delaware River, you're benefiting from the innovation and ingenuity of engineers who specialize in planning, designing, and supervising the construction of suspension bridges, water-treatment facilities, transit systems, and even space satellites. At Rutgers' Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, respected researchers and inquisitive engineers-in-training work together to serve New Jersey and the nation with groundbreaking ideas designed to make our world a better place.

Students interested in the B.S./B.A. or B.S. Dual Degree program would begin at the School of Arts and Sciences and complete all of the requirements for whichever Bachelor of Arts (or Bachelor of Science) program they are interested in and then would apply to enter into the School of Engineering following the same criteria for a school-to-school transfer. This is a more involved process and takes additional coursework than a double major would. Students completing this program receive two separate degrees/diplomas, one from each school.

• Structural Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering

Requirements

Students at the School of Engineering are eligible to apply for admission to a variety of accelerated master's programs. Admission to any of these programs typically requires a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.200 and junior year status at Rutgers. In some cases an aptitude test such as the GRE or GMAT is also required.

Our primary emphasis is placed on the student’s academic promise as demonstrated by:

• completion of required entrance subjects
• academic performance in high school or its equivalent:
• strength of academic program (number/type of academic, honors, or advanced placement courses completed)
• grades and grade trends
• weighted grade-point average(s)
• cumulative rank, when available
• SAT and/or ACT scores
• English Proficiency Examination results, when required

Work Experience

No work experience is required.

Funding

Rutgers uses your FAFSA to develop a financial-aid package based on your qualifications, financial need and the funds available to the university. Your package may include any or a combination of these major financial aid sources:

• Gift aid does not require repayment and is divided into three categories: grants (which recognize financial need) and scholarships and awards (which recognize academic merit, special talents, or other achievements).
• Loans must be repaid (usually after graduation) and can come from private lenders as well as federal, state and university sources.
• Work-study allows students to earn money for college expenses while gaining valuable skills - often in their intended field.

Accreditation

The degree awarded upon completion of this program is the B.S. in civil engineering which is professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

The Rutgers name is recognized everywhere, and a Rutgers degree makes a great first impression. We’ve built our academic reputation on solid accomplishments:
