Overview

Key Features

Civil engineers plan, design and construct our nation’s physical infrastructure, taking leadership roles in the responsible development and protection of our natural resources. Civil engineering encompasses several distinct disciplinary themes such as architectural engineering, construction engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering and water resources engineering, and at Clarkson, we give our students opportunities to be successful in all of these areas.

You gain experience working on projects and research that influences the future. In the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), courses in the civil engineering major are taught in a project-based and challenge-based manner. Not everyone can become a civil engineer. It takes focus and perseverance to develop the critical skills and knowledge for the job. Clarkson is here to transform you into the person with such skills.

Careers

With your Civil Engineering undergraduate bachelor's degree program at Clarkson University, you can pursue a career working in many industries and disciplines, such as:

Civil engineering majors who have chosen to continue their studies by attending graduate school have been accepted at institutions such as Cornell University, Northeastern University, and University of Washington- Seattle. Many of them go on to complete Clarkson's civil and environmental engineering program (M.S. and/or Ph.D.), which has been ranked as one of the best in the country.
