The four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BS CE) enables the graduate to enter professional practice as an engineer or to continue their studies in programs leading to advanced degrees in the following broad fields of specialization: The BS CE degree program is designed to offer depth in course material considered essential for all civil engineers, as well as flexibility in selecting elective courses that offer breadth of topic exposure. Civil engineers contribute to society in numerous ways; thus, the School's philosophy is to provide the student with a range of electives that meet student interests. Civil engineers must not only be technically proficient, but also must be effective in working with people and with professionals in other disciplines. Students must satisfy all prerequisites for a particular course. In addition to campus-wide academic requirements for graduation with a bachelor's degree, the following are also required for the BSCE degree:
| Arts, Humanities, and Ethics: Any HUM | 6 credits |
| Social Sciences: Any SS | 9 credits |
| CE Technical Electives: CE Electives | 9 credits |
