Undergraduate Studies

Civil Engineering students determine sheer strength parameters of sand using direct sheer apparatus

The CEE undergraduate programs at the University of Michigan are traditional four-year programs of study resulting in Bachelor of Science in Engineering degrees in either Civil Engineering (BSE CE) or Environmental Engineering (BSE EnvE). Both the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in Civil Engineering and the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in Environmental Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org).

There is also an option to earn a Minor in Environmental Engineering. Students in both degree programs receive a broad-based education and the rigorous preparation to succeed in a variety of careers and graduate fields within engineering and beyond.

Sequential Undergraduate/Graduate Studies (SUGS)

Students who do well in our undergraduate program are encouraged to consider graduate study. The SUGS program is available for students who graduate with a GPA of 3.5 and above. The program allows students to complete a Master’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering in one additional year by applying their undergraduate technical electives to both the bachelors and masters degrees.
