Civil Engineering Minor

Other Requirements:

Nine additional credits (three courses) in civil engineering from the approved minor course list must be taken of which at least six credits must be at the 300-level or higher. Courses should be selected in consultation with an advisor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. CIEG 161 , CIEG 411 , and CIEG 481  may not be counted toward the minor. CIEG 331  and CIEG 438  cannot both be used toward the minor. CIEG 367  and CIEG 467  can only be used toward the minor if approved by the Civil Engineering undergraduate committee.
