Declaring a Civil Engineering Major

Prior to formally declaring Civil Engineering as their major, students are classified as "pre-engineering" students. To become eligible to declare the Civil Engineering major, the student must complete at least 7 of the "key courses" listed below with a minimum grade of "C-" (C-minus) in the 7 courses, and must have at least a 2.0 GPA, both in the key courses and overall. No key course may be repeated more than twice. Upon making the declaration and submitting the proper form, if approved, students become eligible to enroll in upper division engineering courses (i.e., those numbered 3000 or above). The student will not be allowed to register for any Civil Engineering upper division course until the declaration has been approved.
