The admission standards for majors in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are higher than minimum university standards. International students may have an additional English-language proficiency criterion. Foreign nationals must meet the same admission requirements shown below with the possible additional requirement of a minimum TOEFL score. If the university requires a TOEFL score from the applicant, (see http://global.asu.edu/future/undergrad) then admission to engineering requires a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based), 79 on iBT (Internet-based) or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5.

ASU graduates with a B.S.E. in civil engineering find employment in consulting firms, design and build firms, municipalities, regulatory agencies and state agencies. A civil engineering background is an excellent foundation for jobs in management and public service.

International opportunities are abundant and are likely to expand. The B.S.E. in civil engineering prepares graduates for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, the Professional Engineering (PE) examination and graduate degrees.
