B.S. in Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
On-campus option
To be admitted to the civil engineering major, students must meet the following criteria:
- Complete all the following courses with a grade of C (2.0) or better: CIV E 225; CHEM 202 (or CHEM 200); MATH 150, MATH 151; PHYS 195, PHYS 196. These courses cannot be taken for credit/no credit (Cr/NC);
- Have an overall cumulative GPA of 2.7.
On-line option
Our online program was designed to increase access. Each semester contains two 8-week blocks. Students take 2 or 3 courses per block. Courses are asynchronous and students have direct access to professors via email and via requests for 1-on-1 online meetings. Note: students visit sunny San Diego for 7 days to complete the on-campus portion of the program. This portion allows for a focused hands-on experience.The SDSU Global Campus handles all logistics and applications. Please click here for additional information.
B.S. in Construction Engineering
Construction engineering is the planning and management of the construction of structures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and reservoirs. Construction of such projects requires knowledge of engineering and management principles and business procedures, economics, and human behavior. Construction engineers engage in the design of temporary structures, quality assurance and quality control, building and site layout surveys, on site material testing, concrete mix design, cost estimating, planning and scheduling, safety engineering, materials procurement, and cost engineering and budgeting.
To be admitted to the construction engineering major, students must meet the following criteria:
- Complete all the following courses with a grade of C (2.0) or better: CIV E 225; CHEM 202 (or CHEM 200); MATH 150, MATH 151; PHYS 195, PHYS 196. These courses cannot be taken for credit/no credit (Cr/NC);
- Have an overall cumulative GPA of 2.7.

B.S. in Construction Management
Construction Management addresses the ever-changing conditions of construction projects. The major prepares students to manage critical issues as the industry evolves to deliver more resilient infrastructure and sustainable commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects. Construction managers are expected to bridge the gap between architects, communities, engineers, owners, regulatory agencies, suppliers, and trades in public and private sectors. The major combines management and engineering-related coursework on construction materials and methods, virtual design and construction, scheduling, project controls, preconstruction, accounting, and management and organizational behavior. The profession requires graduates with strong communication skills who are able to engage with professionals and the local community, while negotiating differences and evaluating the consequences of their actions. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
To be admitted to the construction engineering major, students must meet the following criteria:
- Complete all the following courses with a grade of C (2.0) or better: CIV E 225, CHEM 100, MATH 150, PHYS 180A, PHYS 180B. These courses cannot be taken for credit/no credit (Cr/NC);
- Have an overall cumulative GPA of 2.5.

B.S. in Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites. Environmental engineering involves water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues as well as a knowledge of environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.
To be admitted to the environmental engineering major, students must meet the following criteria:
- Complete all the following courses with a grade of C (2.0) or better: CIV E 225; CHEM 202 (or CHEM 200); MATH 150, MATH 151; PHYS 195, PHYS 196. These courses cannot be taken for credit/no credit (Cr/NC);
- Have an overall cumulative GPA of 2.7.
