ABOUT THE PROGRAM
According to the Money Magazine, Civil Engineering is “one of the top six careers in America”
Those who enter civil engineering programs today can look forward to one of the most rewarding careers ever open to men and women – offering personal fulfillment, enduring service to humanity, prestige, career stability, and financial success. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that job opportunities in civil engineering will increase by 20 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. Civil Engineering is No. 1 in Job Growth. In addition, civil Engineers will be by far the highest in demand among all engineering occupations.
LEARN BY DOING
The Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program at JSU is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The undergraduate curriculum offers two concentrations in “General Civil Engineering” and “Environmental Engineering”. Specialized courses in environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, and water resources engineering are offered.
“Challenging Minds, Changing Lives.”
APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Gain real-world experience expanding outside of the classroom. Learn how to succeed by facing real challenges within the community
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Civil and Environmental Engineering majors have a plethora of career options:
| Surveyor | CAD Technician | Building Engineer | Water Hygiene Engineer |
