Civil Engineering, BS, Two-Year Plan

Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (Environmental Specialization)

Sample Plan for New Students

The example below assumes you enter Seattle University with Junior standing (90 credits) and have earned a transferable Associate’s degree. This plan is based on the assumption that the following prerequisites have been completed:

  • CHEM 1500/1501, MEGR 2100
  • MATH 1334, MATH 1335, MATH 1336, MATH 2320, MATH 2330, MATH 2340
  • PHYS 1210/1211, PHYS 1220/1221
  • CEEGR 2210 (recommended: BIOL 1610/1611)

Students with an AST may have additional core requirements depending on community college coursework. For more details on courses and prerequisites, consult the Seattle University Catalog.

Degree Requirements 

  • Credits required for degree: 180
  • Credits in major: 134
  • Minimum cumulative GPA: 2.5
  • Minimum major GPA: 2.5
  • The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam is required for graduation.

Electives marked with * include: CEEGR 3260 – Transportation Engineering, CEEGR 3280 – Timber Design, CEEGR 3760 – Environmental Law, or CEEGR 3860 – Sustainable Engineering.
