In order to receive the Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, students must complete the following graduation requirements.

Complete the baccalaureate degree requirements listed in the UAA Course Catalog, which can be seen by clicking "Course Catalog" from http://uaonline.alaska.edu.

Complete the General Education Requirements for Baccalaureate Degrees (GER) listed in the UAA Course Catalog.  See attached amended GER's for Civil Engineering Bachelor of Science majors with additional requirements noted.

Complete these required courses with a "C" or higher.

1. Satisfactorily complete these required courses with a GPA of 2.0.  Courses with an asterisk (*) are prerequisite courses and must be completed with a grade of 'C' or better.

2. A Natural Science elective (minimum 3 credits) must be taken in addition to the 7 credit Natural Sciences General Education Requirement (met by taking CHEM A105 & A106) and may be selected from the following list:

Note: Geol 111 is the recommended course.

3. Six (6) credits of technical elective courses are required and may be chosen from the courses listed below. Other engineering courses at the 400 level or 600 level may be used to meet this requirement upon the prior approval through the academic petition process. Note that CE 603 (Arctic Engineering) is not petitionable as an undergraduate Civil Engineering technical elective. Graduate courses may not be applied to both a baccalaureate and masters degree.

4. A total of 132 semester credit hours is required for the degree. At least 42 credits must be upper division courses (300-level or above).

5. All Civil Engineering students are strongly encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination in their senior year as an initial step toward professional registration. Civil Engineering students are also encouraged to consider minors in Mathematics or Physics and graduation with departmental honors.

Any given civil engineering (CE) or engineering science (ES) course may only be taken when all prerequisites for the course are met with a grade of C or higher.

A student who is unable to earn a grade of “C” or better in a CE or ES course during his/her initial enrollment may attempt to earn a satisfactory grade one additional time, on a space-available basis.    Failure to earn a grade of “C” or better on the second attempt results in removal from the civil engineering program.

A student who has a semester GPA in engineering courses below 2.0 will be placed on academic warning by the School of Engineering. A student on academic warning who receives a semester GPA in Engineering courses of at least 2.0, will be removed from academic warning status by the School. Otherwise, he/she will be removed from the civil engineering program and will not be permitted to attend CE and ES courses.
