Civil engineering majors have three options within the accredited BSE program: civil engineering; civil engineering with environmental engineering concentration; and civil engineering with sustainable engineering concentration.
The first option allows students to choose among design and technical elective courses in their senior year. The other options specify design and technical courses to students with minimal choices. Regardless of choice, the Bachelor of Science in Engineering in civil engineering is accredited by ABET.
The bachelor's degree in civil engineering with a concentration in sustainable engineering incorporates systems modeling and life cycle approaches to assessing the resiliency and material selection across all areas of urban infrastructure, or built environment, currently addressed within the civil engineering degree. The program is designed to provide students with exposure to material from several disciplines that comply with the principles of economic, social and ecological sustainability and apply them to traditional civil engineering areas.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.
ASU offers programs that lead to professional licensure with the state of Arizona and may allow graduates to be eligible for licensure in other states. Students should check the professional licensure list for the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering to determine if this program meets requirements in their state: https://asuonline.asu.edu/about-us/licensure/. Students should note that not all programs within the Fulton Schools of Engineering lead to professional licensure.
Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. During their junior year, eligible students will be advised by their academic departments to apply.
All students are required to meet general university admission requirements.

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU™ to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and help students save time and money in their college journey. Students may learn more about these programs by visiting the admission site: https://admission.asu.edu/transfer/pathway-programs.
Students enhance their resumes and gain valuable experience through studying abroad. With over 250 programs available, study abroad allows students to tailor their experience to their unique interests and skillsets. Students in sustainable engineering are able to gain hands-on experience in countries ranging from Germany to Hong Kong. In a competitive field, they stand out with heightened cultural competency, leadership and critical thinking skills achieved from studying abroad. https://mystudyabroad.asu.edu/
Civil engineers with knowledge of sustainable engineering may find employment in many different types of companies: large corporations; small, private consulting firms; and governmental agencies.
Civil engineering is one of the best engineering professions from the viewpoint of international travel opportunities or for eventually establishing one's own consulting business.
The bachelor's degree in civil engineering prepares graduates for the fundamentals of engineering examination, the principles and practice of engineering examination, and for graduate degrees.
Career examples include but are not limited to those shown in the following list. Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.
