Civil Engineering, B.S.
The Civil Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Program Educational Objectives
The educational objectives of the Carroll College Civil Engineering Program are to prepare graduates who will:
- Find employment in their chosen fields and enjoy successful and rewarding professional careers.
- Seek and engage in lifelong learning to grow and develop in their chosen professions and/or continue their education to earn a master's or a doctoral degree.
- Demonstrate leadership, especially through good teamwork and effective communication skills.
- Conduct themselves as ethical and responsible professionals, always mindful of the safety, environmental, economic, public health, and aesthetic impacts of their work.
The four major areas of study with the Civil Engineering major are: structures, environmental, water resources, and transportation. Students may choose one of two emphases: broadfield civil or environmental.

Students must take the Fundamental of Engineering (FE) exam within nine months prior to receiving the degree.
To earn a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in civil engineering, a student must earn a grade of “C-” or better in all of the courses listed under “Major Program Requirements”, the appropriate “Emphasis Requirements” and under “Other Program Requirements.” A lesser grade in any of these courses must be replaced before the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in civil engineering will be granted. In addition, lesser grades in any of these courses preclude taking subsequent courses for which the deficient courses are a prerequisite.
3-2 Civil Engineering Program with St. Edward’s University
Carroll College and St. Edward’s University have established a combined degree program to provide engineering degree opportunities for St. Edward’s University students. Each student enrolled in the program will be required to first attend St. Edward’s for approximately three (3) years, completing 96 semester credits, and then Carroll College for at least two (2) years and completing 59.5 semester credits. After completing the academic requirements of both institutions, the student shall be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree from St. Edward’s and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Carroll College.
